Overfishing is not a issue as lobster fishery is very sustainable. Threats are Pollution and Pesticides. Case in point Long Island Sound. The North Atlantic Lobster industry together with US and Canadian Fisheries agencies have had laws and regulations in place for many years to ensure the future of both the Fishery and the Lobstermen. These regulations have proven successful and in a large part are responsible for the overall health of the fishery. LobsterAnywhere is dedicated to the sustainability of lobster populations and educating the public about the lobster industry.
