Green Crab Episode featured on OPB's Oregon Field Guide

In 2006, invasive green crabs were just starting to show up in Oregon bays. Nearly two decades later, these non-native critters are multiplying at alarming rates and threatening Pacific Northwest shellfisheries.

This week, OPB's Oregon Field Guide will take you to the Oregon coast, where Portland State University professor (and OISC Ex Officio member) Dr. Cat de Rivera and her students study these invaders.
