Lobster Season Closes At $30/lb

The lobster season runs annually from first July to the end of February, and today the Fisheries Department issued a reminder that it's closing tomorrow. Fishers got an average price of about 30 dollars per pound this year based on world prices. That's high but not as much as last year - and we are told that is due to slackening demand in the US where consumers have less disposable income for high priced seafood.

Typically over 2 million pounds of lobster is caught in Belizean waters during the 7 month season.
