Another point is that the Americans swear by V-notching in protecting larger females, and the Canadians for the most part swear at it rather than swear by it.
It's very difficult to enforce, because of neighbouring LFAs. As you mentioned, if one group has one style, such as protecting females by V-notching, and others release them, and others catch them and bring them in, who are we saving the lobsters for? Is it one bay saving it for the next bay? This causes problems between LFAs. We've mentioned the connectivity of LFAs or lobster fishing areas in our report.
