Dangerous Crab Or Delightful Delicacy

       Foreign invaders are a known problem it the US but the solution of many problems my be held in these species. In fact their was a study in new England with one of these foreign invaders, the African green crab. These crabs where brought by settlers in the 1800's and now because of the settlers slip up the crabs are ravaging kelp forests. Decimating the ecosystem held in the in new England warm coastal waters and with climate change warming the waters more the crab are festering and their population is growing. Local diners and restaurants have been serving them for a wile in the area. their has been a want for soft shell crab in the last decade and this species could be the solution. Also its been found that the certain species could be user for fertilizer.


      I feel that in every invasive species their is a resource that we can exploit to solve another problem,solving a problem with another. Their needs to be more research in to invasive species biology to see what they are good for.

    I would definitely believe that eating the crabs is a good solution to controlling the population. Using the demand of New England crab meat and substitute it with the African Green Crab to fill that demand will help to limit the population of the African Green Crab while allowing the New England crab population to recover.

    I think this is a very good counter to invasive species, as turning them into food sources is a great way to control the pop, as well as feed your own pop

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
