management of alien crab species is fundamental to ensure coherence with the
wider EU maritime policy and research framework. In addition to ensure appropriate
management and assess existing policies, extensive research should be directed
towards the study of invasive crab species their effect on the native fauna and their
impact to the ecosystem.
