Although Parks Canada has removed nearly two million green crabs from Kejimkujik National Park Seaside estuaries in the last decade, our trapping method doesn't enable the capture of the smallest crabs. So we're hitting our shorelines...and hunting for juveniles. We want to know when and where to find juvenile green crabs on Kejimkujik National Park Seaside beaches. Find and collect as many juvenile crabs as possible, measure and sex the crabs, and note site characteristics. We've enlisted the help of local high school students and are piloting crab hunts on two of our beaches: Harbour Rocks and Boyd's Cove.Sampling Description
