Recycled Lobster Rope Mats Made in the USA

Lobster rope (aka float rope or pot-warp), was once the primary type of rope lobstermen used at sea to connect their buoys to their lobster traps. A few years back the government banned float rope because of whale entanglement issues, forcing lobstermen to make a switch to a different kind of rope (sink rope). This resulted in an abundance of used float rope that was headed for a landfill. Cape Porpoise Trading Co. has partnered with The Maine Lobstermen Association, in order to connect with lobstermen all along the coast of Maine.
