Spiny Lobster Fishery

The spiny lobster fishery involves the harvesting of spiny lobsters, a popular seafood delicacy found in warm waters worldwide. These lobsters are known for their distinct spiny shells and are typically caught using traps or nets. The fishery is crucial for many coastal communities, providing jobs and supporting economies. However, sustainable practices are essential to prevent overfishing and protect lobster populations. Regulations, such as size limits and seasonal closures, help ensure that lobsters can reproduce and maintain healthy stocks for future generations, balancing economic benefits with environmental stewardship.
