Due to warming water trends, experts say the province of Prince Edward Island could become a veritable hatchery for lobster within a half-century. While they caution there is a lot they don't know about the spiny delicacies, it does seem almost certain that the trend toward abundance in the Atlantic Canadian lobster fishery is not about to slow down.
"With the temperature increasing in P.E.I. waters and decreasing the number of days a baby lobster is susceptible, you have less predation and an increase in settlement size lobsters," says Memorial University grad student Ryan Stanley, who is the grandson of a lobster fisherman in P.E.I.
Experts are gathering in Charlottetown this week for the "U.S.-Canada Lobster Symposium", a three day conference that is sponsored by the The PEI Fishermen's Association and is intended to look at the effects of climate change on the lobster fishery in Atlantic Canada and the Northeast United States.

And how is this a bad thing?

Send butter.
Bring butter.
Bring in the butter bazookas!
Note to self: Schedule trip to PEI...and take a lot of drawn butter.
I will personally take all the excess lobster from the Canucks for free.
Those poor bastards!
But seriously, lobster used to be fed to prisoners, such was its esteem in the higher classes, back in the 19th century.
You beat me to it! Lobster, Over run, Where is the butter and cracker?
look at the jam Godzila is in in repy #1. LOL
PEI has always had a lot of lobsters. And parts of the coast have long been much warmer that you would expect from a place that far north, because of the way the Gulf Stream goes by off-shore.
Not much need for Gorebull warming.
Not to worry, PEI has plenty of butter.
Had many great fresh lobsters straight off the boats while camping there.
As others have said, throw in some butter and a baked potato on the side and I won’t complain a bit.
And peanut butter used to be high-class fare. It’s interesting how these things change.
You bring the lobsters, I’ll bring the pot. Between us we can save the world! (Sound of butter being sucked off fingers...)
I live in Maine, and on a cold night, we’ll go down to the beach and put a big pot of boiling water over a bonfire. When it’s really cold, the lobsters will scamper right up the beach and jump into the pot.
Insects of the sea...
That said mrs p6 will want to move there.
