Why boost in Chesapeake Bay grasses is good news for crab lovers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:20:29 GMT

The grasses in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay play a big role in the survival strategies of blue crabs, and a recent survey shows the number of acres of bay grasses is up 12%.That’s good news for the life cycle of blue crabs — and for people who like to eat them. The grasses provide cover for juvenile crabs, allowing them to avoid predators.But as Doug Myers, the Maryland senior scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, explains, the grasses in the lower bay — eel grass, in particular — are critical for mating crabs as well.In order to mate, Myers said the female crab molts so her shell is soft. Just as the eel grass provides hiding places for young crabs, it provides added protection for the adult crabs as the mating process is underway.Bay grasses are also critical to the populations of waterfowl that feed on them in areas such as the Susquehanna Flats near Havre de Grace.According to the latest survey by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, 76,400 acres of bay grasses ...
