Known scientifically as Callinectes Sapidus, which means "savoury, beautiful swimmer", the Wild Atlantic Blue Crab truly lives up to its name. A savoury delicacy indeed, the crab is the primary source of livelihood for artisanal fishermen in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. These local fishing communities have caught crabs in lagoons along the Atlantic Ocean for centuries. And thanks to sustainable management, they will continue for centuries to come. Let the crab feast begin!
