As a reminder, here’s what we got up to on the first Crustacean Compassion Day in June 2025…
​
With our theme of 'Celebrating the wonderful world of decapod crustaceans', supporters came together from all around the world, to learn more about these fascinating animals and the challenges they face.
Through two inspiring webinars, lots of campaign action, and creative activities like crustacean crochet and crafts, people of all ages helped raise awareness and show their support for crabs, lobsters and prawns.
It was a fantastic day of
learning, creativity and compassion in action.
