Lobsters Everywhere

According to a report on Yglesias, Maine has a surfeit of lobsters:

The state fisheries commissioner announced that Maine’s lobstermen last year harvested more than 100 million pounds of lobster, the biggest catch ever. ... The previous record of 94.7 million pounds, worth more than $313 million, was set in 2010. ... Lobster accounts for 70 percent of the value of seafood caught by Maine fishermen. The lobster population has benefited from conservation measures, warmer waters off Maine and a decline in predators like codfish, said David Cousens, the longtime president of the Maine Lobstermen’s Association.
