It’s (Not) a Trap

If you’re clawing for a first-hand account of what it’s like lobstering on the Gulf of Maine, join us at Footbridge Brewery on Thursday, May 21 for the next Ocean on Tap talk!

Lobsterman Eben Wilson of the F/V Lettie Elise will share behind-the-scenes details about where our delicious summer staple comes from. Learn how the industry has evolved and what it takes to make a living on the ocean in 2026.

Ocean on Tap is an informal, ocean-centric speaker series organized by researchers from Bigelow Laboratory. Our goal is to bring the community together over the fascinating world of the ocean. At these events, speakers will share their corner of expertise in the ocean, and attendees are encouraged to ask questions.
