Still Waters Posted June 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Californians have been capturing bizarre footage of tens of thousands of tiny red crabs that have been washing up on Orange County beaches. Tiny tuna crabs have been beaching themselves on Southern California shores in unprecedented numbers. Marine Safety Lt. Michael Beuerlein told the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot that he had never seen an occurrence like it in his 34 years with the city. http://www.telegraph...rnia-beach.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastieRunner Posted June 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2015 There was a recent study that stated we have entered the sixth great mass extinction. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/11687091/Earth-has-entered-sixth-mass-extinction-warn-scientists.html Maybe this is a part of that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted June 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2015 we're doomed. we sold our kids and grandchildren for money You've lost me on that one qx.....what do beached crabs have to do with selling the kids and grandkids ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra. Posted June 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2015 It might have something to do with ocean temperatures changing. Or it may be some kind of natural cycle of the crustaceans. However, what I did find rather disturbing - were the people who took home bucket loads of these crabs to eat ? What if these crabs became sick from some kind of toxic element in the waters ? Why on earth would anyone pick up any kind of sick and dying sea creature off the beach to eat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD455GTO Posted June 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) (useless comment by me) Not like it matters at all, but they look more like a prawn or something of the Lobster family...just saying...ANYWAY, carry on. An afterthought, it happens to cetaceans, cuttlefish etc... (neither of which are "slow" animals) perhaps they just took a wrong turn at Albuquerque? It could happen.

cerberusxp Posted June 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) The answer to this is simple you peed in the river. No seriously though could that volcano that is erupting 100 or so miles off the Oregon coast have anything to do with it? I'll bet that it has something to do with the faults and escaping gases.

I didn't make any claim, I simply posted an article related to conditions in the Pacific as part of this discussion. But I suspect you're just trying to bait an argument by being rude and you don't really have anything to say on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
