Lobster Trap

A lobster trap is a specialized fishing device designed to catch lobsters humanely and efficiently. It’s a lobster-proof cage made from durable materials, shaped to lure lobsters inside with bait. Once inside, the lobsters find it difficult to escape due to a one-way entrance. These traps are usually submerged on the ocean floor and are connected by ropes to a buoy at the surface, allowing fishers to locate and retrieve them. They are an essential tool in sustainable lobster fishing, helping manage lobster populations while minimizing environmental impact.
