I’m back on the internet after being away from home for a week and taking a break from it.

I took this photo from one of the handful of lobstermen’s workshops at the commercial wharf that buys lobsters from the boat I work on. These shops are predominantly used for sanding and re-painting lobster buoys each year and storing gear and spare boat parts.

Lobster pound, Swans Island Maine.
While “lobster pound” is colloquially used along the coast of Maine to refer to a casual seafood restaurant—often located by the ocean—where you can eat lobster. In the case of these photographs, the term can also mean a built enclosure in a cove or harbor to hold a large amount of lobster.

A federal appeals court reinstated seasonal lobster fishing bans in a 200-nautical-mile area off New England’s coast to protect critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. This decision aims to prevent deadly entanglements in fishing gear, which threatens the fewer than 380 remaining right whales. Environmental groups welcome this ruling as a crucial step toward conservation.
