Starting today, Bahrain is lifting a two-month ban on hunting crabs, said the Agriculture and Marine Resources Agency at the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning.

The ban, which began on 15 March 2021, had a complete halt on hunting, trading or selling lobsters.

The Marine Resources agency said the ban was to stop disturbing crabs during their breeding period to preserve marine wealth and biodiversity in the territorial waters of the Kingdom.
