Could climate change mean fewer stone crabs in South Florida?

Increasing carbon dioxide in the oceans has made it harder for the succulent sea creatures and potentially other shellfish to reproduce, according to Philip Gravinese, a marine biologist working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

We need federal grant money to hire workers to lift the little guys on and off one another. Won’t anyone think of the stone crabs’ sex lives? O the hugh manatee ...

Let’s see - if the oceans are warming, less CO2 will be dissolved.......so i guess this means the oceans are cooling? Just askin’.

Everybody cares about the stony crabs, the horny toads, and the humpback slugs. Nobody cares about the corns on my feet.

Whatever it is, it’s all your fault, if only the government can imprison you for making the earth “unsustainable.”

“Stoned Crabs” some like some sort of rock band.

Absolutely!

Not only that, but female and young crabs will be affected the hardest.

Crab Song Sung Blue
By Linda Stonestadt and the Stone Ponys

You and I travel to the beat of a different kettle
Oh can’t you tell by the way I scuttle
Every time you swivel eyes at me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say `Did-a-chick, dad-a-chum’
But honey child I’ve got my crab hammer
You can’t see the forest for the trees

Oh don’t get me wrong
It’s not that I knock it
It’s just that I am not in the market
For a crab who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain’t saying you ain’t pretty
All I’m saying is I’m not ready
For any crustacean place or thing
To try and pull the claws in on me

So good-bye I’ll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We’ll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

That’s as sad as `Under the Sea’

Does Slick Willy have crabs in spite of the increasing levels of carbon dioxide?
