the bulk of the catch for this season will be hauled & sold before Trumpish tariffs prevail.
subtract all export related costs from the expected remainder to arrive @ fair NS market value and subsidize to that level while national trade negotiations ensue.
I think the worst that could happen is lobsterfolk would go back to just making a really good living instead of the windfall profits of the last 5 years, Clearwater & other dealers would be motivated to find/expand markets, and perhaps NS restaurants & customers would be able to afford more lobster!
