Lobsters are often valued solely in relation to their price as food, but lobsters are valuable members of the ecosystem as well. 🦞🌊
.
Julia W. juumeithings (Age 18,California) investigates both the environmental and attitudinal threats to lobsters in her painting, "Lobster Buffet." 
.
"I chanced upon an article addressing the recent lobster boom. I was shocked to learn that rising ocean temperatures will make it difficult for baby lobsters to survive. However, the article concluded not with a call to stop polluting the earth, but rather encouragement for lobster lovers to hurry and eat now before the species goes extinct. My jaw dropped at the next line: 'For 7 awesome ways to get your lobster fix, check out these recipes.' The lack of genuine concern for global warming and its effects on the lobster population drove me to focus my artwork on lobsters as well as reflect on neglectful attitudes toward climate change."
