Record lobster catches yielding as little as $3.25 per pound has an impassioned group of industry experts calling on Atlantic Canadian business for support.
Canadian Atlantic Lobster Inc. and Lobster.ca are urging businesses to participate in All Boats Rise with the Tide, an annual industry publication that’s full of thousands of dollars of savings.
The publication will offer coupons from participating companies that will encourage people to shop locally, which could change the tide of not just the lobster industry but Atlantic Canada’s economy, co-founder Patrick Swim said Friday.
“It’s a value-proposition to people in the industry to become a part of the membership and work together, pulling in one direction positively,” Swim said. “It’s our first call to action for businesses to get behind this industry and help usher in an era of ‘lobsterpreneurship’ among Atlantic Canadian businesses.”
