Maine lobster harvest sees $72 million rebound in 2023, even as landings decline

MAINE PUBLIC • March 1, 2024

Maine fishermen brought in about $464 million worth of lobster last year, a $72 million increase over the previous year’s haul, which had been the lowest in the decade. The rebound was mostly driven by higher lobster prices. By volume, fishermen harvested nearly 94 million pounds of lobster, the lowest in 15 years.
