What data are you using to determine that the lobster resource is healthy? At virtually all of the small boat harbours, there's no monitoring when boats land their catch. There's monitoring for crab, though. Every time a crab boat comes into port, someone records how many pounds of crab it lands. Nobody does that for lobster, so what data do you have to go on to determine that the lobster resource is so healthy?
I'm a fisherman's son. My father is retired now, but I'm well aware of how lobster catch landing works, so what data is the department using to say that the resource is so healthy when landings are not monitored?
