Flavors of the Sea

Zostera Rice and Green Crab

Grab some grub for me!

Seagrass is dying

Ocean warm and pollution

We need to fix it

Runoff from the land

Poisons the oceans seagrass

The ocean is dark

Green crabs are not gas

They eat the stocks of seagrass

We need to eat them

Green crabs all around,

the seagrass all falling down,

when can they be found?

Decline of meadows

What could it be? There’s so much

Let’s help these guys out

DO GREEN CRABS TASTE GOOD?

YOU CAN BET YOUR GRASS THEY DO!

GREEN CRABS ARE YUMMY!

Green Crab Oh Green Crab

Please Leave Our Seagrass Alone

Or We Will Eat You

Maine seagrass is dead

We must rebuild the meadows

Help seagrass beds now!

Throw seeds into it

Seagrass restoration, yay!

Watch out for the crabs!

Seagrass destroyers

You should go back to Europe

Green crabs are the worst.

Clean water column

Makes seagrasses blossom

Pretty like autumn

New delicacy

Eat a green crab, save the earth

Defend the seagrass

Clean water to grow

Species diversity helps

Marine heatwaves kill

Restore our seagrass

Before green crabs kill it all

We should eat them up!
