One of America’s Largest Industries Is In Danger, New Documentary Warns 

America’s seafood industry employs around a million people, according to a 2023 U.S. Marine Fisheries Service report, but Daily Signal contributor Steve Cortes says that in places like Maine, government regulation is leading to the sector’s collapse.  

In his new YouTube documentary, “American Seafood: For Our Health and Economy,” Cortes visits the docks of Maine’s shoreline to explore the lobster trade, how federal government oversight drives fishermen out of business, and why the U.S. should catch and consume more seafood. 

Chef Andrew Gruel, a former lobsterman, explained the life of a Maine fisherman and the difficulties they face. 

Fishermen, he said, begin their days at 4 or 5 a.m., setting traps and hauling their catches from the cold waters. 

“Lobsterman, it’s a family business. Your grandfather did it, his grandfather did it, but now, these guys they’re at the end of the rope,” Gruel said. “They’re shutting down because they can’t make money anymore.”
