Never thought I'd see the Cape Cod Times on HN!!

The Center For Coastal Studies is a brilliant organization that does great work to defend this big critters, as well as Right Whales.

I didn't realize there was still lobster so close to Stelwagon Bank- with the increasing acidity and warming waters folks have had to go closer to Maine for lobster.

Anyhoo, humpbacks are our friends and no one should read this as an "attack"; just a little accident.

I didn't even realize that they were still diving for them. Here in Maine, they trap them. I don't know of anyone that still dives for them and don't think they do it much, if at all, here.

(I don't live near the coast, but I do have a 'lobster guy' that hooks me up.)

This sounds like a bit of New England banter. "Here in Maine, we use traps. The troglodites down the cape still dive for them."
