    Once again the Invasive European Green Crabs miss the list!!! Unlike like Mikey of the Life Cereal commercials Green Crabs will eat anything!!!
    It’s true as you add structure to Water-ways the currents will change… What was left out is the Artificial Reefs created by the Turbine Bases will make excellent habitat for these Invasive Green Crabs and whatever may relocate to these New habitats good and bad!!! Remember they’re talking Thousands of Turbines!!!

Of course, the best bought science will slide this in!
