Lobster

About

How lobster lives

Lobsters are armored marine invertebrates that walk across rocky seafloors searching for food and shelter. A lobster's claws can specialize for crushing and cutting different prey. Ocean animals navigate three-dimensional space, pressure, and constantly shifting currents.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting lobster also depends on keeping ocean, coast habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
