Lobster Report Praises Maine Fishermen and Wardens
James Donohue, state fish commissioner from Rockland, releases an annual report showing 1907 lobster catches of 8,698,671 valued at $2,005,462, with 119,159 more lobsters than 1906 and 37,397 small lobsters seized and released. The document notes rising co operation from Sagadahoc Cumberland and York counties and calls for stronger unions, stricter enforcement, and protection for seed and small lobsters on Maine coast. It warns that 1,000,000 short lobsters were destroyed last year, costing about 190,000 dollars to fishermen, and emphasizes hatchery work at Boothbay Harbor and codfish gains while urging protection of clams and legislative support.
