[??!!!

European green crabs are a destructive invasive species that removes eelgrass very efficiently, destroying habitat for everything else in the Gorge. Unfortunately, we caught adult European green crabs in the Gorge for the first time in August 2024 through our monitoring program. </p><p>We are working with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Peninsula Streams Society to remove as many as possible before the problem worsens. To prevent the spread of European Green Crabs, make sure to clean, drain, and dry off any watercraft according to BC Invasives. ]</p><p><a href="https://www.gorge.ca/projects/european-green-crab-monitoring" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gorge.ca/projects/european-gre</span><span class="invisible">en-crab-monitoring</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YYJ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Esquimalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Esquimalt</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GorgeWaterwayPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GorgeWaterwayPark</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LekwungenTerritory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LekwungenTerritory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Songhees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Songhees</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Wsanec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wsanec</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Saanich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Saanich</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VictoriaBC</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Environmental</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/InvasiveSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvasiveSpecies</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/EuropeanGreenCrab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuropeanGreenCrab</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/marine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>marine</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DFO</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VancouverIsland</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PacificNorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificNorthwest</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/conservationists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conservationists</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ecological" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecological</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Naturalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Naturalists</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cascadia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VanIsle</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PNW</span></a></p>
