‘Gut punch’: What was found in crab gear off California coast
Quick Glance: Tragic: Enormous Endangered Turtle Found Dead in Crab Trap off S.F. Coast
  • An individual from a massive, ancient, and highly endangered species of turtles fell victim to abandoned crab gear on the Bay Area coast.

  • A highly endangered specimen from a species known for producing the world's largest turtles was discovered dead in abandoned crab gear off the coast of San Francisco, refocusing attention on Dungeness crab fishing just before the start of the commercial season.

  • The adult creature was entangled and confirmed dead in the abandoned gear near the Farallon Islands by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife late Monday.

  • The current commercial Dungeness crab fishing season has not yet opened due to poor crab meat quality and the continued risk of humpback whales getting entangled in the gear.

Quick Glance: Billions of Crabs Disappear in Alaska: Cause Revealed
  • Billions of snow crabs have vanished from the ocean around Alaska in recent years, and scientists now reveal that they know the cause: Warmer ocean temperatures likely starved them to death.

  • A new study, published by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, highlights a significant correlation between recent heat waves in the eastern Bering Sea and the sudden disappearance of snow crabs, which became apparent in surveys from 2021.

  • The researchers analyzed the potential triggers for the disappearance of snow crabs starting in 2020 and narrowed it down to two categories: the crabs either relocated or perished.

  • During the heat wave, Pacific cod were able to access these warmer waters and consume a portion of the remaining crab population.
