Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary

The Birds are Back in Town!

Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary is back and bigger than ever, thanks to many partners working together, a sizeable National Fish & Wildlife Foundation grant, and overwhelming community support. Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary was recently restored in late 2021 and there has been a lot of research and public education taking place around the island. Please enjoy the following links to learn more about ongoing work around the island. Everything from economic and engineering studies, to bird counts and live feed cameras can be found here on this webpage.

As a friendly reminder: During the breeding season (March 15 through October 15), Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary remains completely closed to landing. From October 16 through March 14, public access is allowed only in the intertidal zone between low and high tide waterlines. Dogs and camping are prohibited year-round at Crab Bank.
