Show Notes
Maines lobster catch plummeted to a decade-low in 2025, with warmer ocean waters pushing young lobsters northward into Canadian waters. Inflation, market issues, and fewer fishing trips exacerbated the situation, leading to a significant drop in profits and overall value. Despite high dock prices, the overall value fell by over $75 million. Southern New England waters face similar challenges due to warming trends, with regulators flagging overfishing in key zones. Lobsters remain plentiful in markets and restaurants, but the boom years of the 2010s feel distant as the fishery adapts to these challenges.
