Cold water lobsters are:

Fished very heavily, at rates that compete with number appreciation

Migrating north to waters that are still around the temperatures required for growth and survival

The Atlantic Ocean is the fastest warming ocean body of water in the world and the gulf of Maine has been particularly affected

Oddly the warming waters are not mentioned at all as the issue in lobster forums. It’s all a big liberal conspiracy to put us out of business. While the whale part is total bull. The warming waters will probably kill my fishing in the next 5-10 years. Guys are catching fish that shouldn’t be up here more and more. Trigger fish and blue crab shouldn’t be more then a once a season oddity.
