The lobster industry is 90% of the economy for Shelburne County and Yarmouth County. It's a great area. It employs a lot of jobs, between 20 to 50 workers at each lobster pound. In my small town, last year, a lobster cannery was built, whereas one closed down two hours away because of lack of lobster.
