🎉🦞 It’s National Lobster Day and we’re spotlighting a fascinating study from California Sea Grant examining how environmental changes impact spiny lobsters. From their specialized sensory systems to their crucial role in marine ecosystems, this study explores how spiny lobsters adapt to environmental stressors like temperature shifts 🌡️ and habitat changes 🏝️. Studies like this help scientists gain crucial insights into lobster behavior and population dynamics: bit.ly/CASG-Spiny-Lobster #SeaGrant #NationalLobsterDay #MarineScience #Research #SpinyLobster #ScrippsInstitution #California #SustainableFisheries

From net to table! Seafood sold directly from fishers to consumers is often fresher and more sustainable —supporting local businesses and encouraging a connection with our food sources. 🐟 However, many fishers face legal hurdles like complicated permits and licensing. The National Sea Grant Law Center explored legal obstacles, including permitting and licensing requirements, for fishers in 30 coastal states. Read their analyses and recommendations to state policymakers: bit.ly/NSGLC_Direct #SeaGrant #SustainableSeafood #Seafood #Sustainable #Fishers #Consumers #LocalBusiness #Business #Policy #Law Photo of open ocean fish pens.
