1. the report says the American fishing effort has left the fishery "severely overexploited."?!?!
Bullshit. The Maine lobster industry is one of the best self regulated and self policed fisheries in the world. There is no indication of *any* depletion of lobsters. In fact (due to a variety of reasons) the opposite is apparently true. Perhaps they have a case for reduction in number of traps to protect whales, but misrepresenting lobster population data will not win any converts to this cause.
