‘Eat Lobster’ T-shirt to benefit fishermen

SEARSPORT – Hamilton Marine and Grundins Foulweather Gear are joining forces and offering a special promotion to help the state’s struggling lobster fishermen.

Until the end of the year, Hamilton Marine will donate half of the proceeds generated by sales of the Grundins “Eat Lobster” T-shirt. The donation will be made to the Maine Fishermen’s Forum, a group that provides education and support to the local fishing industry.

At a time of rising food and fuel costs, the iconic Maine lobster is selling for as little as $4.99 a pound, making it difficult for lobstermen to keep their operations running.

The “Eat Lobster” T-shirt can be purchased for $14.99 at Hamilton Marine stores in Searsport, Rockland, Southwest Harbor, Jonesport and Portland, or by visiting the Hamilton Marine Web site at hamiltonmarine.com.
