So what it looks like may be happening is the lobstermen are NOT harvesting lobsters because the price isn't worth their effort, and this will cause the price to eventually climb as there will likely be a drop in available catch.

Forgive me, but isn't that somewhat shady, since they are helping drive up the cost of a readily available resource because they don't like the fact that they can't make more money.

Gee, it must really be terrible to have a glut in a product that only years ago they were worried that they couldn't catch enough to make ends meet.
Now they can't make enough to make ends meet.
It's a double edged sword.

Maybe they could catch and sell them as striper bait and really clean up?
