New England lobster fishermen are saying a drastic new plan being floated to save depleted lobster stock in the region will spell a death sentence for their businesses.
One of the options under consideration is a five-year ban on lobstering in the waters south of Cape Cod. The aim is to help the local lobster population bounce back, but many fishermen say it means the end of their livelihood.
"I've spent most of my life on the ocean. It's just where I'm at home," said Jarrett Drake, a second-generation fisherman who has been catching lobsters out of New Bedford since he was 13.
