Many thanks to everyone who took part in the inaugural North American Lobster Science Symposium!

Over two days, more than 65 researchers presented talks and posters showcasing cutting-edge work on lobster biology, ecology, and the coastal communities that rely on the number-one fishery in both the U.S. and Canada.

Co-hosted by the Lobster Institute, Maine Sea Grant, and the Canadian Lobster Research Network, the symposium highlighted the depth and breadth of collaborative lobster science across the region.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Amalia Harrington for an inspiring keynote address and to Dr. Damian Brady for launching the event with a dynamic plenary session.

Stay tuned—interviews with researchers and recordings of many presentations will soon be available on the symposium website:
