Maine's having a lobster boom. A bust may be coming.

The governor of Maine and other tree huggers never mention that in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the waters off the coast of Maine were warmer.

Both times, the waters became colder without the intervention of mankind.

Rhode Islanders used to gleefully point out that a lot of the lobster sold in Maine was caught in Narragansett Bay. (My long-ago brother-in-law was one of those Narragansett lobstermen.)

Funny thing about lobsters, no matter how plentiful they are the price stays high. Kinda weird that the lobster trade defies supply and demand economics.
There could be an explosion in availability and there has been, of lobster populations yet the prices remain high.
They’re just tasty crustaceans and prices are kept artificially high. The fisheries have done a great job of reviving and maintaining the resource but the prices remain the same.
Lobster is a con.

The waters off Maine’s coast are warming, and no one knows what that’s going to mean for the state’s half-billion-dollar-a-year lobster industry—the largest single-species fishery in North America. Some fear that continued warming could cause the lobster population to collapse.

And there is not a thing you can do to prevent it, or to speed it up so the warmer water species supplant the cold water lovers. Earth's natural cycles will prevail.
