Overfishing and warming waters have caused a 34% lobster decline in New England since 2018, threatening a $700 million fishery.
A new report by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission confirms overfishing of American lobsters off New England, with a 34% population decline since 2018, primarily in Maine and Massachusetts waters.
The fishery, worth over $700 million last year, is under stress from warming oceans, increased fishing pressure, and delayed regulatory actions due to opposition from lobstermen.
Additional challenges include whale protection rules and market instability.
Officials and industry leaders stress ongoing commitment to conservation and sustainable management, with Maine pledging collaboration on future strategies.
