Hey, teachers! Here’s a cheat sheet of what’s included in this episode of The Nature Files: • What is an invasive species? • How and when European green crabs arrived in the North Pacific • The effect of invasive European green crabs on seagrass beds (on the habitat and other species living there) in the North Pacific Ocean • Using eDNA to detect, monitor, and help manage invasive populations • The Coastal Restoration Society; T’Sou-ke First Nation
