Seaweed-Loving Crabs Help Restore Caribbean Corals
MIAMI, Florida, January 28, 2021 (ENS) – With the dangers of climate change increasing at a rapid rate, Caribbean coral reefs are in decline, overcome by seaweed. Now scientists think that they have found a solution for the infested reefs – herbivorous crabs that enjoy a seaweed diet.
On December 10, 2020, researchers with Florida International University, FIU, reported in the journal “Current Biology” that native crabs in the Florida Keys could help break down the seaweed by eating it and so could help to restore the reefs.

Air Force Two carrying Vice President Mike Pence along with the Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett, lands on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado on April 18, 2020.
When former President Donald Trump’s administration announced it would move U.S. Space Command to Alabama instead of keeping it in Colorado, it took many in the Centennial State lawmakers, military leaders and businesses alike by surprise.
Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs was considered to be a shoo-in for the command’s permanent headquarters.
Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said the city had offered $130 million in incentives to keep the command. It is not in the interest of national security and the American taxpayer to move Space Command, he said.
