    There seem to be a few theories to explain this. One popular one is that the melting snow lowered the sea temperature and they died of hyperthermia. Don't worry, the crabs will be back - these mass strandings and dyings have always been part of nature. There are plenty more off shore to breed.

    I remember wandering across the beaches at Sandwich Bay about five years ago one summer and seeing the beaches littered in thousands of tiny thumbnail jellyfish, probably sea gooseberries. There were countless hoards of them stretching for hundreds of yards. A mass stranding is always a sad sight.
