Lobby has been representing the Lobster Industry for a number of years.
In the past few years, the metrics for the Maine part of the industry have been very good.
The harvest quantity, in pounds, is up and prices have remained stable (note the graph). This is a turn around from the situation before 2000 or so when big harvests depressed prices. Although the stable price for lobsters is partly due to the success of retail companies such as Red Lobster and the Urban Lobster Shack, Lobby likes to take a lot of the credit.
Lobby's fellow lobsters don't see the big harvest of lobsters as such a positive thing.
Lobby responds, "I'm just a lobster making a living like everybody else."
