Stewardship

We are constantly looking at ways to ensure we make ecologically and ethically sound choices to ensure we conserve ocean resources for all future generations. By joining and supporting organizations that are dedicated to the same goal, we can remain on the frontier of ocean sustainability now and in the future.

Maine Lobster Company™'s success is rooted in thoughtful conservation. The state of Maine passed country’s first sustainability law in 1879, which established the lower threshold on legal size, requiring lobster fishermen to throw back small lobsters. Efforts to maintain a healthy lobster population have grown ever since. Nowadays sustainability measures are integrated into every step of the lobster ring process. In order to make healthy decisions about what we eat, we must know where our food come from and how it’s been harvested and handled. We are proud to be able to trace every pound of lobster we serve back to where it was sustainably caught and to support the lobster fishermen we know and trust.
