Crab Week is an annual marine science shell-ebration that highlights the biodiversity of the Hudson River through our friendly neighborhood decapods. Crabs are an important part of our local ecosystem and play a vital role in supporting a healthy and balanced marine environment. 

Hudson River Park’s 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary is home to eight species of local crabs that we’re excited to pass the spotlight to during this next week. These crafty crustaceans can be found in environments throughout Hudson River Park including pile fields, mud flats, oyster reef balls and salt marsh.
