flag Maine’s lobster catch fell to its lowest level since 2008 in 2025 due to warming waters, inflation, and declining populations, threatening long-term sustainability.

flag Maine’s lobster catch dropped to 78.8 million pounds in 2025, the lowest since 2008 and the fourth straight year of decline, according to state regulators. flag The drop, driven by rising costs, inflation, a late fishing season, and warming ocean waters pushing lobsters toward Canadian waters, reduced the industry’s value by over $75 million. flag Despite high dock prices averaging $5.85 per pound, fewer fishing trips and declining populations have raised concerns about long-term sustainability, with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission warning of overfishing in key areas.
