They're a staple of New England cuisine and culture. We?ll talk about the history of the industry--it?s stayed very much the same since lobstermen first set their traps in the icy waters of the Gulf of Maine. Trish talks with James Acheson, University of Maine anthropology department and School of Marine Science www.umaine.edu. Also joining Trish is journalist Trevor Corson, his recent article on lobstering appears in April?s Atlantic Monthly magazine www.theatlantic.com.
