As the Gulf of Maine Warms, species once limited to warmer waters are moving northward. In this presentation, Jessie Batchelder of Manomet Conservation Sciences explores the emerging presence of blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in the Gulf of Maine. Drawing on field data and community science efforts, Jessie will discuss the ecological implications and market opportunities of this range expansion and how ongoing monitoring can inform adaptive management strategies in a rapidly changing marine environment.
