The Lobster Foundation of Massachusetts, a 501(c)(3) organization, supports a healthy and sustainable lobster fishery within Massachusetts’ waters. We sponsor scientific research and educational programs that promote sustainability and safe fishing practices, which in turn conserve and protect our marine environment and the abundant life it supports.
Massachusetts is home to some of the nation’s most productive commercial fishing ports, and the industry is important to the state’s coastal towns.
American lobster is a bottom-dwelling crustacean that is widely distributed over the continental shelf of North America.
