Maine's lobster fishermen face a significant challenge as new regulations introduce stricter minimum size limits for lobsters, altering the legal harvesting size by even a tiny fraction. This change comes amid existing pressures on the industry from climate change and stricter rules aimed at protecting marine life. While regulators insist that the measure is essential for the lobster population's future, fishermen express concern that it could hurt their competition against Canadian counterparts and further exacerbate market instability.
