Climate Change Causes 11 Billion Snow Crabs to Disappear #shorts



#snowcrabs #shorts #kpassionate
Alaska has cancelled this year’s snow crab season for the first time ever after 90% of the snow crabs disappeared. BILLIONS of snow crabs are missing from the Bering Sea. By why? Scientists are investigating, with many saying the snow crab population decline is caused by climate change.

Many have proposed alternative explanations for the snow crab disappearance, such as Fukushima and poaching from China or Russia, and I respond to those in this video here → https://youtu.be/hJiqIuM2aVs

I am a marine biologist with over a decade of experience working with marine mammals who prey on snow crabs. When the sea ice shrinks, juvenile snow crabs are exposed to predators. So the snow crabs have no choice but to migrate. That is just one of many possible reasons Alaskan officials are investigating for why billions of crabs disappeared..

Climate change is very real and Alaska is the fastest warming US state: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967064520301284
