The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has persisted in Oregon and Washington coastal estuaries since the late 1990’s. After the arrival of a strong year class in 1998, significant recruitment to the populations occurred only in 2005, 2006, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Warm winter water temperatures, high Pacific Decadal Oscillation...
