HP 987, “An Act to Create a Green Crab Only Wholesale Dealer License” would give Mainers a low-barrier, affordable shot at wholesaling invasive green crabs. This would fill a crucial gap in the small but growing market for green crabs in Maine. A green crab only wholesale license would help create jobs, stop damage to our coastal environment clamming fishery and promote a low-cost, nutritious, wild-caught seafood, for Maine and beyond. ~ John Painter, Lewiston
