But following days of talks in Hobart in Tasmania, the CCAMLR rejected the plan, which needed unanimous agreement to pass.<br /><br />The failure to create new protected zones in the Antarctic Ocean comes amid increasing evidence of humans’ devastating impact.

Today, lobster catches have collapsed in southern New England, and the only state with a significant harvest is north in Maine, where the seafood practically synonymous with the state has exploded. [Hey, how many mili-sieverts do they measure?]<br /><br /><br />Although young guns like Eaton are flush with cash now, old-timers know that lobsters no longer thrive in warming waters to the south, and they've heard the talk about how fast the Gulf of Maine is warming. They fret that lobsters will start failing here too and Stonington will lose its mantle as lobster capital of the world to somewhere in Canada. And these days, there's not much to fall back on if it does. <br /><br />They remember back when fishermen could catch plenty of cod, pollock and halibut if lobsters weren't filling their traps. Until recently, shrimp was a reasonably reliable catch for local fishermen. But in 2014, regulators closed the shrimp fishery entirely.<br /><br />"You eliminate lobsters, and you have an instant Appalachia, right here."
