I would like to thank Protect Maine's Fishing Heritage Foundation for helping the lobster fishermen this fall. They sent out $100-$500 dollar checks to those of us who qualify in the lobster industry.
It has been a strange year for lobstermen and the world; things were tight this spring with a lot of worry. I am also pleased this organization is watching out for large aquaculture leases as a threat to lobsters.
I am grateful they are on top of it, as the lobstering industry faces many hurdles.
