Live lobster holding facilities in the P.E.I. communities of Evangeline, Souris, Tignish, Summerside and Darnley are expanding with the help of funding from the provincial government.
Being able to hold live lobster for a longer period gives processors more flexibility to adjust their production to meet the existing labour supply, according to a written release.
"Innovation PEI is responding to the industry's needs by providing grants to five projects that will enhance our province's live lobster holding capacity, enhancing our exports and supporting the economies in our rural communities while building our reputation as Canada's Food Island," Economic Development Minister Heath MacDonald said in the release.
