Show Notes
Maines lobster catch plummeted for the fourth consecutive year, reaching a decade-low of 78.8 million pounds in 2025. This steep decline, from over 110 million pounds in 2021, was attributed to warmer ocean waters pushing lobsters northward into Canadian waters, coupled with soaring costs, fewer fishing trips, and tariffs. The industrys dock value dropped by over $75 million, despite steady prices. Despite the slump, last years numbers were still higher than the 50-70 million pounds common in the 2000s.
