In the fall of 2024, Homarus and the Maritime Fishermen’s Union (MFU) launched a small-scale tagging study in LFA23 to track lobster movements and growth in LFA23B and LFA23D. This project aims to collect essential data on their migration patterns and development in these areas.
We encourage anyone who catches a tagged lobster to report their findings.
