REPORT ALL SITINGS OF INVASIVE CHINESE MITTEN CRABS The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) and east coast state environmental agencies have issued alerts for the Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis), a highly invasive species from China that has recently been spotted in teh Chesapeake in Maryland, in the Delaware Bay, and in the Hudson River. The crab is so invasive that it is listed under the Federal Lacey Act which makes it illegal to possess, import, export, transport, sell, received, acquire or purchase this species in the United States. To learn how to identify this crab and what to do if you find one, download the SERC Fact Sheet. Please pass it on to others who are active in, on, near east coast waters. Download Fact Sheet
