BMS students to battle invasive species

Bath Middle School was among eight schools awarded grants by The Natural Resources Council of Maine. The grants funded projects that engage students in protecting Maine’s environment. Bath students will test hypotheses to answer research questions about the local green crab population. Green crabs are an invasive species that threaten Maine’s clam population.
