Mussels and crabs are an important part of the UK’s coastal ecosystems and seafood industry. Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are commonly found clinging to rocky shores, piers, and estuaries, forming dense beds that provide food and shelter for a wide range of marine species. Crabs, particularly the brown crab, are another key species around the UK coastline. They inhabit rocky reefs and sandy seabeds, where they play a role as both predator and scavenger. Together, mussels and crabs not only support marine biodiversity but also underpin important fisheries and coastal economies.
