Abstract

Research was conducted to figure out how well green crabs in Georgetown, Maine are prospering and just how much they are taking over the intertidal zone. Green crabs destroy the environment around them, ruining the coastline and the lives of its inhabitants. Students from Bath Middle School traveled to Reid State Park and Todd’s Landing in Georgetown, Maine to collect data on green crabs, which were caught in traps. From the year of 2018 until 2021, the green crab’s population exploded, going from around forty crabs caught to over one hundred fifty. Green crabs are indeed taking over Georgetown, Maine, prospering incredibly well.
