Where have all the Lobbys gone in Scapa Flow?
I love lobster! I love to eat them and I love to watch them under water.

However, I have noticed that the Lobbys in and around Scapa Flow have disappeared. In fact I did not see a single lobby in a whole week of diving.

Could this be due to all the divers or all the fishermen?

Well after recently diving St Abbs I noticed that Lobsters were everywhere. Lots of babies to. There is a volentary reserve there, but I noticed that the skippers do not allow divers to take sea life.

I believe that as dive sites become more popular, these popular dive sites can not sustain divers takeing lobsters, so now I leave them alone. Especially when they can take over 10 years to grow to a good size.

For me it comes down to that I enjoy seeing lobsters more than eating them.
