S24 Campaign

Written By Angela Sayre

If you ever visit the Florida Keys and found a shell with S24 on it, you’ve come to the right place. This year hermit crab owners created a campaign to help spread awareness of shell shortages for wild hermit crabs. This year the goal was to return Shells to the wild for hermit crabs to find, instead of taking shells from the beach for spring break.

Crustacean Plantation received over 2,000 shells to place out for our native hermit crabs!!! We are very thankful to our shell donors and I know our local hermits are very grateful too!!! ❤️

Let us know if you find a hermit crab walking around with writing on the shell.

Provide awareness of the native wild hermit crabs of the Florida Keys. Bring attention to the housing shortage of hermit crabs due to pollution and the collection of seashells by humans. Educate the public on the capture and abuse of wild hermit crabs for the pet trade. Help end the sale of wild-caught hermit crabs and preserve populations of wild hermit crabs and the lands they inhabit.
