Europe has had offshore wind farms since the early 90s, but all of the development has been in shallow waters, unlike the deep waters of the GulfofMaine.
Unlike the limited supply of gargantuan lobster, the family-friendly festival is purported to have a never-ending cache of freshly-caught lobsters flown in daily from the GulfofMaine and cooked on the spot.
Some ecologists suspect that the explosion of the lobster population in Maine may be due not only to the regulations, but also to the fact that the GulfofMaine represents an ecosystem out of balance.
