A marine biology class at Monmouth University has been studying how nor'easter storms affect mole crab populations along the coast. Students are measuring crab abundance to understand how these powerful coastal storms reshape beach ecosystems. The fieldwork highlights hands-on science education while shedding light on the ecological aftermath of repeated nor'easter events along the northeastern United States shoreline.
