Hey there NENP'ers, from an RMNP'er in Colorado. I'm going through some photos I took on my honeymoon in Bar Harbor a while back, and I have one that I have no idea how to label.
Would you mind taking a look at this photo, and tell me what I'm looking at?
I'm sure these things have something to do with fishing, but beyond that, I'm at a loss.
Thanks!

Brent...
Those are lobster trap bouys. The new england lobster industry is tremedously well regulated both from internal and external regulating groups, and the bouy is one of the ways to help keep things in line. Every lobsterman in New England has a different bouy, and the result is the palate you see on the wall.
Hope that helps.
