Advancements in Sustainable Lobster Fishing Practices

As I scanned the Gulf of Maine, I detected a cluster of fishing vessels that seemed to be working together in a coordinated effort. Upon closer inspection, I discovered they were part of the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing sustainable lobster fishing practices. I learned about their innovative programs for trap reduction and biodegradable materials, and I compared their efforts to other fishing industries I've observed. The Foundation's work is an inspiring example of how humans can responsibly manage their natural resources.
