Understanding the Stresses Incurred By a Typical Lobster Trap Using Finite Element Analysis
Lost and improperly disposed of lobster traps are a problem because they hinder conservation efforts, pollute the marine environment, risk the lives of mariners, and endanger civilians. Information regarding current lobster trap materials and industry practices was gathered and a solid model of a typical lobster trap was created using computer aided design software. This model was then used to perform finite element analysis and will ultimately lead to the development of new lobster trap technology

An Industry Haunted: Investigating the Phenomena of Ghost Gear and Marine Debris
For recreational and professional lobstermen alike, the loss of and disposal of lobster traps are continuing problems. They hinder conservation efforts, pollute the marine environment, impede navigation, and put the lives of mariners and the general public at risk. To prove this, a submarine survey, marine debris survey covering three states, and leaching experiment were conducted. Throughout the project, procedures were implemented to protect the environment such as releasing caught marine life and recycling found lobster traps
