American Blue Crab Displaces Fishers
In Italy’s Po Delta, invasive Atlantic blue crabs have devastated local Manila clam fisheries, causing a 93% decline in harvests and forcing more than 600 fishers to abandon their trades. Climate change-driven environmental shifts have facilitated the rapid population growth of the crabs, which prey on the native clams and disrupt the ecosystem. Efforts to control the invasive species have largely been unsuccessful, with some fishers switching to new livelihoods or attempting to process and export the crabs for international markets.
