Columbus crab crosses the Atlantic – big picture

Columbus Crabs cross the Atlantic on long line buoy debris surfing Gulfstream
This Columbus crab (Planes minutus), just 10mm long, was found among common goose barnacles on a longline buoy last week, washed ashore on the Chesil beach, a natural catchment area for marine litter in Dorset. Native to the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda, it drifted away along the Gulf Stream and ended with many objects from the American and Canadian fishing industry on British shores Illustration: Steve Trewhella/UK Coastal Widlife
