June 25, 2026 — During National Green Crab Week, leaders from across New England and Maine’s emerging green crab industry gathered in Portland on Wednesday to discuss how to both control the invasive, unregulated species and create new economic opportunities from it.
The Green Crabs Working Summit brought together harvesters, researchers, chefs, and industry advocates who share a common goal: finding productive uses for a species that has become a growing concern in Maine’s coastal waters.
