With the Gulf of Maine’s warming waters posing an increasingly existential threat to the state's signature industry, lobster, The Boston Globe and Portland Press Herald joined forces to explore the challenges, stresses, and fears of those on the front lines of change. The Lobster Trap is a collaborative series that examines Mainers struggling to preserve their way of life in a rapidly changing world. In this event, Press Herald reporter Penelope Overton, along with Globe reporter Jenna Russell and deputy projects editor Brendan McCarthy, will unpack the story and provide a behind-the-scenes accounting of their 12-month investigation into this monumental crisis.
