Outreach & Education

The Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper is always looking for opportunities to spread the word about what we do and why we do it.  The Ghostpot Busters program is a perfect introduction to our mission, and a great way for kids of all ages to get involved!

What You Can Do To Help

TEDs

Turtle Exclusion Devices help to make sure your crab pots catch plenty of crabs without threatening our Diamondback Terrapin population.  Recreational crabbers are often fishing in the shallow waters that these turtles call home, and thus can have the biggest impact on their numbers.  Learn More by watching the TEDs slide show. 

Crab Pot Removal

Whether you want to collect crab pots, get kids involved with making buoys, put TEDs on your crab pots, or just help us spread the word, there’s an opportunity for you to be a part of the Ghostpot Busters team!
