Hi - Are there any places in the Westford, MA area where we can pick up fresh/live lobsters and seaweed/rockweed? I want to put together a lobster clambake (on the grill) over labor day weekend and the last time we did it (in waltham), we picked up the lobsters and rockweed from James Hook (and spent an arm and a leg). We'll be new to westford and still learning the ropes. Thanks in advance!!
Rockweed, a brown seaweed that grows around the Maine shoreline, provides a vital natural habitat for lobsters, ducks, fish, snails and more than 100 other species. Millions of pounds of rockweed are cut from coasts outside the United States annually. The seaweed is used by companies as a color and flavor enhancement in processed foods and to produce cosmetics.
Seeley became involved in her preservation campaign once the seaweed cutting reached Maine. Seeley, who had been performing marine field research since 1983, said she became “alarmed … that such an important seaweed habitat could be cut on an industrial scale.” She co-founded the Rockweed Coalition in 2008, and in 2009 she mobilized the passing of the Cobscook Bay Rockweed Management Area Law, which caps rockweed removal, prohibits cutting in private and public conservation areas, and establishes third-party monitoring of the seaweed bed harvest.
