Oceanarium: touch tank, lobster museum, and lobster hatchery. Maine has rules to protect lobster populations. To harvest, a lobster must be larger than a specified size, smaller than a specified size, have no eggs on its tail, and no notch in its tail. If a lobsterman finds a lobster with eggs in his trap, he can notch the tail before he lets it go. Another lobsterman cannot harvest that lobster even if it no longer has eggs because it has been marked as a reproducing female. The number of lobsters being harvested in Maine continues to increase. No one knows what’s happening in the ocean.
