Abe Streep writes about how Indigenous fishermen in Canada are defending native rights and corporate profits in the lucrative lobster trade.
Not so long ago, good lobster could be found closer to the city. Historically, there were strong harvests as far south as New Jersey. But, in the past thirty years, global warming has pushed lobster populations to cooler seas. As the industries in Long Island and Massachusetts collapsed, the waters around Nova Scotia became the most productive lobster breeding grounds on Earth.
The company’s offshore lobster harvest was relatively small—it currently accounts for under two per cent of the total Nova Scotian catch—but the company’s processing and exporting business was central to the industry, connecting Nova Scotia to global markets in Asia and Europe. It had invested heavily in processing technology, securing a government grant to build a massive lobster pound that used tanks with circulating seawater to hold animals year-round.
