Charting the Course

Homarus Inc. is a non-profit organization created by the Maritime Fishermen’s Union (MFU) in 2001. Homarus was created with the objective of ensuring a sustainable lobster resources and fishery. Since its inception, Homarus has grown significantly.

With millions of lobster larvae released, immersive guided aquatic experiences, and the dedication of thousands of fishers, we are building a stronger connection to marine ecosystems and fostering sustainability. Every effort, whether through conservation, education, or collaboration, brings us closer to a healthier and more resilient future for our oceans.

Together, we can make a lasting impact for generations to come.
