HARVESTER HUB & ADVISORY NETWORK
Learn About Green Crabbing and Our Free Advisory Network
In the Northeastern US, invasive green crabs are now one of the most common crab species with a growing fishery. While most green crabs are currently harvested for bait, pet food, and removal efforts, our organization works to uplift culinary markets for green crabs and increase participation in the fishery.
We're excited to announce the Harvester Advisory Network which aims to responsibly expand culinary green crab fisheries by supporting current and potential harvesters. Joining this informal network requires no time commitment or membership fee and we welcome participation from individuals outside the US.
