@getmainelobster: In Maine, lobster conservation starts with a simple measurement. Harvested lobsters must have a carapace (body shell) length of at least 3¼ inches and no more than 5 inches. This lobster barely cleared the minimum legal size, meaning it had reached the threshold for harvest while helping ensure smaller, younger lobsters remain in the ocean to grow and reproduce. These regulations are a cornerstone of Maine's sustainable lobster fishery. #mainelobster #portlandmaine #fishing #fypシ #fypシ゚viral
