Maine lobstermen (and lobsterwomen) face certain doom.  Prices at the dock have plummeted due to the economic slowdown, and the costs of running a lobster boat have rocketed through the roof.  Ain't worth headin' out t' pull traps.

Thus does the crisis in consumer confidence hit home on the Maine coast.  Folks, even if your 401K has tanked, boil up a couple of bugs for dinner!  Save our way of life!

We have a similar problem here in Maryland with crabs, complicated by laws that require the watermen to put the female crabs back into the bay.
