  • September 5, 2008 Washington, DC – It is time for regulators to adopt a minimum size requirement for Spiny Lobsters harvested from the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic, according to the National Fisheries Institute (NFI).

    In a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Management Service (NMFS) NFI writes, “[a minimum size] allows a higher percentage of lobsters to reach sexual maturity before they are harvested, helping ensure the sustainability of the fishery.”
