Invasive Blue Crab wreak havoc on French Mediterranean mollusks, eels, oysters and mussels
Fisherman Yves Rougie pulled up a net from the waters of the Canet-Saint-Nazaire lake in southern France. He was hoping for a catch of eels. Instead it was full of blue crabs. The blue crab, callinectes sapidus, has been destroying populations of eels, oysters and mussels that are traditionally caught in the area’s lagoons and coastal lakes.

This has nothing to do with Wind-Turbines, it’s just a perfect example of will happen!!! Not only will they be providing transportation for these invasive species like the European Green Crabs before them!!!
Keep in mind the Turbine Bases will make excellent Habitat for these invasive species!!!
