Lobster Conservation Measures

Lobster Conservation Measures are rules and practices implemented to ensure lobster populations remain healthy and sustainable. They may include size and egg restrictions to protect young and reproductive lobsters, limits on how many lobsters fishermen can catch, and seasonal openings to avoid overfishing during breeding times. These measures help maintain balanced ecosystems, support the industry’s future, and prevent lobster populations from declining. By following these guidelines, fishermen, scientists, and regulators work together to ensure that lobster resources are available for future generations while supporting local economies.
