Massachusetts Seafood Collaborative

On this national lobster day, we give a nod to our lobsterman who drive the second most valuable fishery in the Bay State 🦞

Our lobstermen face the most onerous regulatory scheme in our industry, but cooperate out of an abundance of care and caution to protect Right Whales.

The endangered North Atlantic Right Whale has seen a dramatic decrease in mortalities since 2017, with the last fatality in Massachusetts waters occurring in 2018. The statistics prove these regulations work. However, there is a new push—backed by out of state special interest groups— to saddle lobstermen with unnecessary new closures, gear requirements, and regulations.

We stand with our lobsterman, who against all odds work diligently to protect their historic livelihood and the ocean environment that makes it all possible. Check the link in bio to learn more about where to buy local MA seafood & how to take action to preserve the industry!
