Responsible crabbing

*Don't... Put too many crabs in one bucket. Stick to 10 per pail.

*Do... Add rocks to the bucket to help replicate the crab's natural environment, and reduce stress.

*Don't... Keep them all day long – return them to the sea.

*Do... Change the water every hour to avoid asphyxiation. Only keep the crabs in sea water.

*Don't... store your bucket in the sun.

*Do... Go crabbing. When done responsibly, crabbing is an excellent way to introduce children to the marine ecology.
