Calling all lobster lovers! September 25 is National Lobster Day! This totally real, not made-up holiday isn’t just about eating lobster (though it’s a great time to indulge), but also about celebrating the way lobster has helped build and sustain our nation’s coastal communities.

National Lobster Day is a way for us to show appreciation of this fan-favorite crustacean by taking this opportunity to reflect and educate on the delicate balance of sustainable lobstering practices and the impacts climate change has had on lobster populations locally – and the continued impacts we could see if ocean waters continue to warm. By acknowledging this reality, we’re doing our part to lead the industry to ensure lobster fishing will continue for generations to come.

Speaking of future generations, this National Lobster Day we have a whole new reason to celebrate.

Starting Sept. 25, Maine Lobster Now will launch its inaugural Sustainability Education Scholarship. This annual scholarship will award one high school or undergraduate college student $2,500 to be used toward their next year’s college education. Full details and how to apply can be found at the link.

So join us as we raise a claw to our signature seafood item and place your next lobster order from Maine Lobster Now. We offer an unbeatable selection of live lobsters shipped overnight directly to your door. Or choose ready-to-cook lobster tails, lobster roll kits, lobster mac & cheese, lobster bisque, and plenty more ways to enjoy this Maine delicacy. Schedule your order today to have it delivered on time for National Lobster Day on September 25.
