Crab Crib is a WA invention providing harm minimisation and a home for the future for the crab species.
Kate's Story
Having spent a lot of time with my family at my parents’ home on the canals in Mandurah, I’ve seen the first-hand damage and pollution created by the traditional crabbing nets that degrade and make their way to the ocean. I was inspired to create the Crab Crib to provide ease of catch and release for undersize or females with eggs, in the species.
