Crabs Travel 3,000 Miles From Bermuda On Buoy
Six Columbus crabs have travelled 3,000 miles from Bermuda on the back of a barnacle encrusted buoy to wash up on an English beach, according to a story in the Western Morning News.
The story said ”Six rare Columbus crabs have travelled 3,000 miles from Bermuda on the back of a barnacle encrusted buoy to wash up on a Westcountry beach.
“Conservationist Steve Trewhella spotted the incredible find on a South West beach, where he was searching the flotsam and jetsam for interesting finds.
“He said that the rare crabs, a tropical species which spends its entire life travelling the oceans on floating debris, were found clinging to a large buoy covered in Goose Barnacles.
“Steve found the crabs washed up on Chesil Beach, in Dorset, and believes the increase in sea litter means sightings may be on the rise.
“The Columbus crabs are native to the sea near Bermuda, where they live among the weeds, and grow to just half an inch in diameter.”
