Poachers were caught hiding their haul in bags, backpacks, cars, and even a baby stroller, using tactics that were ultimately sniffed out by specially trained K-9 units. With lobster season officially closed since March 18, these illegal operations not only violate state law but threaten marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of legal fishermen. Each offense can carry fines up to $1,000 or jail time, and officials urge the public to report suspicious activity via CALTIP or their app—because protecting ocean resources is a year-round responsibility.
