In the early 2000s, scientists began finding what appeared to be bald spots in dense, grassy salt marshes up and down the East Coast. These patches have since multiplied, and they now threaten to destroy coastal landscapes. Eventually, the culprit was identified: persistent, ravenous, purple crabs. Finally, scientists may have a plan to beat them.

A new generation of architecture students is facing a reality that climate change will radically alter how buildings are conceived, and they’re the ones who will have to find solutions. But first, they have to learn how. And this unique building in New Bedford offers a perfect test case.

Scientists and Aquinnah Wampanoag tribal officials think a small population of the fish could be defying their migratory nature. And that, in turn, could be impeding efforts to restore a second fish species: herring.
