Ozy quotes Wahle in article on Maine lobster comeback
Rick Wahle, a University of Maine research professor at the Darling Marine Center, was interviewed by Ozy for the article, “How Maine has managed an amazing lobster comeback.” The article states that three years after lobster prices in Maine collapsed during a glut, they are now at the highest in half a decade, and harvests are nearing record annual highs of around 125 million pounds — twice what it was a decade ago, and six times a typical haul in the 1980s, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources. Wahle said the abundance of lobsters in the state is a result of unsustainable fishing practices and warming of the oceans.
