A green crab is held by Coffin as he scours the Harraseeket River in search of the invasive species.
Green crabs sit in a bucket after being hauled in the Harraseeket River in Freeport by Chad Coffin and Sara Randall of the Downeast Institute, aboard the R/V Green Crab 1. They were catching the crabs as part of the Freeport Clam Experiment, which is under the guidance of Brian Beal of the University of Maine at Machias.
