Reply to comment by Affectionate_Neat919 in Whole Foods pulls Maine lobster from its shelves by feathered-quill

Historically? Probably a fuckton because we used to do whaling. However as of recent? Not that many

Sorry if that was vague. I meant as a result of lobstering.

And was that a metric fuckton?

Nah Imperial fuckton

As a result of lobstering? Maybe 15 over the course of 100 years? I'm commiting rough estimates with those numbers. However the one of the most recent deaths was actually when a NOAA research vessel plowed into one.

The whole focus on these restrictions feels more like a solution looking for a problem, especially when it seems that there really haven't been any casualties caused in Maine waters. Go figure.
