5. Code of Conduct
SOS have recommended behaviours for zero impact interactions
The Spider Crab aggregation draws many visitors to the waters of Port Phillip Bay and with that attention, there is potential for negative impacts on the crab's natural lives (including fishing!). We as on lookers also need to ensure we observe and enjoy the iconic spectacle without impact. Follow the link to view SOS's Code of Conduct.
