Ten years ago, a shocking discovery sparked a movement. Today, Crustacean Compassion is celebrating a decade of changing how the world sees and treats crabs, lobsters, prawns and crayfish.

Today, beneath the gilded ceilings of the House of Lords, one King delivered his speech to the nation, while we, no less crowned (and rather better armoured), listened from our rocky throne, antennae poised, claws crossed - only to find, once again, that we magnificent 10-legged creatures had been entirely overlooked.

Supermarkets are stepping up for crustacean welfare in The Snapshot 2025. With our new Supermarket Scorecards, you can quickly see how your favourite retailers compare and choose compassionately.

You can help shape this change by responding to the consultation before 25 March 2026.
