Natalya has called the mask versus mask match between Chad Gable and Ludwig Kaiser at AAA the match of the year. On Busted Open Radio, she said Gable turned the El Grande Americano gimmick into "magic," relayed JBL calling Gable the best wrestler in the world, and said the story made Kaiser the biggest star in Mexico. https://t.co/xs5bAvVTkt
JAMAICA’S LAND CRABS ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
Every June, Jamaica’s land crabs emerge in their ancient procession, crossing roads, filling buckets, ending up in cooking pots from Portland to St Elizabeth. It is a tradition as old as our memory, but it may not survive another generation.
The blue land crab (Cardisoma guanhumi) is classified Near Threatened by the IUCN, with declining populations across the Caribbean. It matures slowly, breeds once a year, and takes years to reach harvestable size; not the characteristics of a species that recovers easily from pressure.
The red land crab (Gecarcinus ruricola) faces similar challenges: over-harvesting for food, habitat loss, and slow reproductive rates that make recovery from population crashes difficult and prolonged.
The warning signs are there: We’re seeing fewer crabs on local roadsides with each passing year.
Puerto Rico saw populations crash over four decades under the combined weight of over-harvesting, pesticide contamination, and coastal development. Regulations finally came in 1999; closed seasons, size limits, protected zones; but only after the damage was done. Recovery remains slow and incomplete. The Bahamas, with even fewer controls, offers a still grimmer picture.
Jamaica has no closed season, no size limits, no monitoring programme. Harvesting is effectively open-access. As more land is cleared for buildings and roads, pressure on crab habitats intensifies each season.
The ecological stakes are high. Land crabs aerate coastal soils, cycle nutrients, and sustain the mangrove ecosystems that underpin Jamaica’s tourism economy.
Jamaica hasn’t lost what Puerto Rico spent a generation mourning. Not yet.
