The traditional method of harvesting Caribbean spiny lobsters has long been carried out by hand-catching, a technique that requires divers to rely on swift reflexes and physical agility to extract lobsters from crevices within coral reefs. This process is often marked by difficulty, as lobsters tend to retreat quickly into tight spaces, making them hard to capture without disturbing the surrounding marine habitat.
On average, only 3 to 5 lobsters per hour* are successfully harvested using hand-catching methods, due to the physical strain and time spent locating and securing each catch.
With the introduction of The Original Green Snare, a far more refined and efficient alternative has been provided. Designed with a responsive trigger mechanism and a streamlined, lightweight build, The Original Green Snare enables humane captures with minimal disruption to reef ecosystems. Greater precision and maneuverability are afforded to divers, allowing for easier navigation through complex underwater terrain. Catch rates are significantly improved, with divers typically securing 8 to 12 lobsters per hour*, more than doubling the average yield. By reducing physical exertion and increasing efficiency, The Original Green Snare has clearly established itself as a superior option for lobster harvesting in the Caribbean.
