Subject: Re: Lobster Divers
In NY and NJ divers do not need a permit and can take lobsters any time
but they must be of a minimun size. New England states are different, In
Mass. divers need to have a permit and the number needs to be displayed
on the SCUBA tank. Lobsters can only be taken during the day. And (I
think) there might even be a "lobster season". Maybe someone on this
list can verify that.
