Activity trackers for lobsters designed for fight against waste
WALPOLE Some lobsters inevitably don’t make it through the journey from trap to plate. Those untimely deaths along the way are known as “shrink” and the issue has been a thorn in the side of Maine’s most prized fishery for years.
“It’s a big deal,” said Annie Tselikis, the executive director of the Maine Lobster Dealers’ Association.
At a time when the fishery is facing unprecedented threats and saw a dip in catch this past year, industry officials want to make sure every lobster that is pulled from the water can fetch the best price.

WCCC program offers lobster industry education
CALAIS Haul the traps and get to the closest computer because class is in session. Washington County Community College is launching a first-of-its-kind course to give a top-to-bottom education on Maine’s famous red-claw crustacean.
The Business of Maine Lobster will be a 10-week course that will provide an overview of the lobster supply chain, showing participants everything needed to get the state’s most famous export from the seafloor to the restaurant plate.
The class is free, open to the public and can be taken for three college credits if desired.
“It could be earlier college folks, traditional lobstermen or sternmen,” said Denise Cilley, the entrepreneur program director at the Sunrise County Economic Council, which helped put on the class. “It could literally be anybody.”
