Description

Because the first recorded lobster catch in 1605, the Maine lobster fishery has grown into a multibillion-dollar force. Cathy Billings of the University of Maine Lobster Institute embarks on a journey from entice to plate, introducing readers to lobstermen, boat builders, bait dealers, marine suppliers and the expansive industry that revolves across the fishery. Maine lobster families extend generations back with a watch to their legacies. Strides in sustainability have been an indicator of the Maine fishery all over the centuries, from the time lobstermen themselves introduced conservation measures within the mid-1800s. As of late, Maine’s lobster fishery is a model of a co-managed, sustainable fishery. The individuals who work Maine’s lobster fishery have developed a coastal economy with a global influence and deep history.
