U.S. - Canada Lobster Town Meeting - 2025

2025 U.S. - Canada Lobster Town Meeting

Welcome to the U.S.-Canada Lobster Town Meeting! Join us at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel & Event Center from January 28 to 30 for a day and a half of panel discussions addressing issues impacting the lobster industry. This year's panels will discuss the U.S. gauge increase, stock assessments, changes to the ecosystem, market conditions, and other critical topics impacting the industry.

Town Meeting is a unique opportunity for cross-border dialog among fishermen, managers, and researchers. New this year is the addition of banquet dinners to allow attendees additional time to continue conversations following our sessions and socialize. The first will be the night of January 28, following on-site check-in and registration.

Registration is open exclusively to commercial harvesters until October 20, after which it will open to the public. Thanks to the Sonneberg Fund, we once again can offer a limited number of free registrations for commercial fishermen.
