The Ministry of Environment says that from 1 April to 31 July there is a ban on the catching and sale of rock lobsters in the DR. Restaurants are allowed to sell imported lobsters or their inventories by calling 809 732-3303/5. The ban is aimed at protecting lobsters during their reproductive season. It is a time when to consider whether you want to order that lobster or can choose another type of seafood.
"During the closed season the capture, fishing, selling or storing of live species, in mass or tied up is prohibited. This is to guarantee the permanent existence of lobster populations, which in turn guarantees a reliable supply for the market".
