This map is about lobsters and much more. Massachusetts harvests its fair share of lobster every year from its New England shores. This map gives fisherman a general guideline for were most of the lobsters hangout along the coastal regions of Massachusetts, and could be useful in identifying places to try and trap lobsters. The map points out several interesting trends. Most of the lobster harvested in Massachusetts comes from the coast regions in the north and many of the lobster are caught close to shore. Even if you are not interested in lobster harvest this map still shows a good representation of the bathymetry of the coast of Massachusetts and identifies some of the reefs and shoals that could be hazardous to navigate a boat through. All of the data I used to create this map was provided by mass GIS.
