It was mentioned at our dive club (UDNH.org) meeting last night that there were some divers taking lobster the other day at Nubble Light.
There is NO legal licensing to allow divers to take lobster in Maine or New Hampshire.
Be aware the penalty is HEAVY if you are caught by the law. It might be even more of a burden if you are caught by a fisherman.
Noone will ask whether you "intended" to keep the ill gotten gains; it will be assumed that because you have them in your possession you intended to keep them.
If you do it you'll F* it up for all of us who are NOT taking the lobster and those who are trying to have the laws changed so it would be legal. Appreciate the lobbys as they are and if you really want to eat one go to a restaurant or buy
one at a fish market.
