Reply to comment by redcoat777 in Alaska's cancellation of the snow crab season offers a grave, potential prediction for Maine's lobster industry. by combatbydesign

Shellfish is kinda the whole issue here, but yeah, there are more sustainable options there too.

The point is that there are way more job options than "scrape away at natural resources. "

My intention was to suggest bivalve shellfish, oysters, mussels, and scallops for example. With a farm you have many more levers to pull to mitigate the impacts of the warming.

There's already a big scalloping industry. The DownEast institute on Bealls island is researching clams and mollusks, but nobody really likes clamming because wading in the muck sucks; even winkling is more attractive :)
