Monhegan Island is a leader in Lobster Conservation. Located just 10 miles of the coast of Maine, Monhegan is a year round fishing village, where lobstering is not just a job, but a way of life. When buying from Monhegan Lobsters, you are getting high quality hardshell lobsters from a sustainable fishery. The idea is simple. We will take them out of the ocean and send them overnight to your doorstep.

The island has self-imposed trap limitations as well as a limited fishing season. The hope is that fishing on Monhegan will be a viable livelihood for generations to come. Sustainability is an important goal for Monhegan and her residents as well as this website, which was created to promote and educate people about sustainability on this island. By buying lobsters direct from Monhegan lobstermen, you help a local community. If you've had the pleasure of visiting Monhegan, you will surely enjoy your order even more, knowing that these lobsters were caught in a conservation zone and that you are supporting Monhegan lobstermen.
