Electric Workboats Shock Casco Bayās Poor Lobsters
In the remote waters of Casco Bay, Maine, the electric workboats starring in this aquatic tech drama are wrestling with electrification like a toddler with a smartphone. These sleek, buzzing vessels, run by aquaculture innovators whose names remain as elusive as a lobsterās social security number, test marine electrification under the eye of skeptical seagulls. No flashy dollar amounts or celebrity endorsements hereājust a bunch of dedicated weirdos plugging boats into the ocean, hoping electric propulsion doesnāt spawn a new underwater reality show: 'Boat vs. Lobster, Who Survives?' Meanwhile, the basecamp calls it a bright idea, but lobsters remain suspicious.

Electric boats in Casco Bay are basically the Tesla Cybertruck of the seaāawkward, ahead of their time, and probably confusing every fish within a five-mile radius.
Marine electrification: because apparently getting lobsters to vote for your startup is easier than getting a gas-powered boat to stop polluting.
