So potential changes for businesses in the winter? We barely serve lobster in the winter, they are breeding.. Our menus are season related, crab is from the west coast or south.

If that's what you want to take away from this that's your prerogative, I guess?

Well, if I were a lobsterperson these days, I'd be eyeing ways to diversify or divest. Probably not the worst idea with the way time and tides are going.

The point is the gulf of Maine is warming rapidly and lobster populations are shifting north. It’s a dying industry is southern New England. If the trend continues the lobster fishery in Maine could rapidly collapse as the population shifts north towards cooler waters (like the snow crabs).
