Since the early 1980s, Maine lobstermen have experienced a climate-driven lobster boom.That’s because cliate change has been warming the Gulf of Maine more than three times faster than 99 percent of the ocean. Warmer waters initially meant more lobster, but by 2050 conditions may become challenging for lobsters to survive in.“They can stand quite a heat, but I don't think they particularly like it,” Lennie Young, an eighth-generation lobsterman from Corea, Maine says. “It's just a waterborne bug, but it keeps you guessing. It doesn't always do what you expect it to do.”
