CRAB CLUB | ETHICAL MISSION STATEMENT

Building a more sustainable future for recreational crabbing

Crab Club is a West Wales-based community project promoting eco-friendly, family-focused crabbing.

Our mission: protect coastal ecosystems, cut plastic waste, and get people outside through low-impact, accessible activities.

We’re building fun, nature-focused experiences that bring kids and families closer to the outdoors. Right now, we’re seeking partners and sponsors who value sustainability, coastal care, and youth engagement.

Crab Club Horizons (CIC)

To grow this mission, we’ve established Crab Club Horizons, our new community interest company. It’s the part of Crab Club that will handle the hands-on work: small coastal projects, workshops, and creative education for kids and families.

It’s early days, but Horizons gives us a way to turn ideas into action, from cleaner gear to kinder crabbing, from recycled nets to community beach days. Every project we build will share the same goal: helping people enjoy the coast while protecting the life that makes it special.

Core Goal: Sustainable Crabbing Gear
Our main focus is redesigning crabbing gear to replace cheap, disposable plastic kits.

We're working on a range that is:

  • Durable and reusable

  • Made from recycled marine materials (e.g., old nets and ropes)

  • Safe and fun for kids and families

  • Locally made or ethically sourced

We're exploring collaborations with circular economy groups and clean-up crews to turn marine waste into long-lasting gear.

Community Projects
Beyond gear, we’re building:

  • A user-powered Crab Map to find the best locations and to log your top spots and tips

  • A free, illustrated Crabbing Guide for safe, eco-friendly fun

  • Educational content connecting kids to marine ecology

  • Shoreline meet-ups and creative community events

What We Need
To bring these ideas to life, we’re looking for:

  • Sustainable materials experts

  • Small-batch manufacturers

  • Eco-conscious family brands

  • Environmental funders

  • Coastal orgs with aligned missions

  • Inventors and dreamers to help make our visions reality
