the entire "Lobster Project" as sponsored by the BHA is ridiculous... it's a lose/lose/lose situation for tourists/restaurants/the environment.

If restaurants DO abide by the rules as set forth, they would either need to charge a ridiculous amount for any lobster dishes (as the cost for the lobster is $30-$40BZE a lb) or basically sell it at cost.

Fisheries admits it does not have the resources to adequately police the program.

Most restaurants just get a permit for a token amount and then buy lobster illegally fished.

"Out of season" should mean "Out of season."
