Billions of snow crabs in the Bering Sea have vanished (Credit: fisheries.noaa.gov/ Public domain)

Every winter, Alaskan fishers head out to the Bering Sea to harvest snow crabs. However, on October 10, 2022, officials announced that the 2022/2023 snow crab season had been canceled due to a sharp decline in their population. Ocean surveys indicate that the number of snow crabs has shrunk from an estimated 11.9 billion in 2018 to about 1.9 billion in 2022.

        Cool, but sad. The Alaskans have a whole season on this and it was canceled since there weren't many snow crabs. :(
