SUPPORT OUR ORG
GreenCrab.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a two-clawed approach: building culinary markets for the European green crab and spreading awareness of its invasive impact.
Our organization partners with harvesters, chefs, seafood businesses, and community members to get green crabs out of coastal waters and onto plates. We also aim to highlight the impact of invasive green crabs on fisheries, ecosystems, and communities across the globe in collaboration with people researching and mitigating green crabs.
100% of your donation supports our free programming, outreach, and administrative expenses.
