Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

*Don't... Put too many crabs in one bucket. Stick to 10 per pail.

*Do... Add rocks to the bucket to help replicate the crab's natural environment, and reduce stress.

*Don't... Keep them all day long – return them to the sea.

*Do... Change the water every hour to avoid asphyxiation. Only keep the crabs in sea water.

*Don't... store your bucket in the sun.

*Do... Go crabbing. When done responsibly, crabbing is an excellent way to introduce children to the marine ecology.
