A lobster trap is a specialized fishing device used to catch lobsters. Typically made of wood or wire, these traps are designed to attract lobsters using bait, such as fish or other seafood. The trap has an entrance that allows lobsters to enter but makes it difficult for them to escape once inside. Lobster traps are often deployed in coastal waters and are marked with buoys for easy retrieval. Fishermen check the traps regularly to collect the lobsters and replenish the bait. This method of fishing is both efficient and sustainable when managed properly, helping to maintain healthy lobster populations.
