LHCOS is excited to officially welcome Melissa to the Local Representatives team! Melissa joins us from Ontario, Canada. Hi my name is Melissa and I am so grateful to be joining the local reps. I live in Canada and currently volunteer with the adoption program. I have learned so much since I started crabbing and was so lucky to have a great mentor when starting out. I appreciate everything that the LHCOS and CSJ volunteers do for the crabbing community. Crab keepers around the world are so blessed to have such excellent resources at their disposal. Thank you for allowing me to join. Read More →

LHCOS is now a 501(c)3 organization so it makes sense that the contest is hosted under the LHCOS brand. All profits from the annual calendar will help fund their many programs. Starting January 1, 2022 Calendar Crab moves to LHCOS! Rules and instructions for entering the monthly contest will be posted soon.Read More →
