In Danish and North European waters, shore crabs are caught by the thousands, disrupting the marine ecosystem by consuming eelgrass, a vital species that supports biodiversity.

With the decline of their natural predator, the cod, these crabs have flourished unchecked, creating environmental challenges and difficulties for small-scale fishermen, whose nets and fish stocks suffer from this unmanageable by-catch.

We work together with Danish leading fishery Fiskerikajen to source our shore crabs, turning this problem into a scalable opportunity.

Working closely with small-scale fishers, Fiskerikajen has created financial value and application potential for these shore crabs, considered a low-value catch with significant environmental drawbacks.
