so is this a good idea to turn in tags or will i be in a way supporting MLPA area closers by doing so?
are they are looking for data that supports their theory that lobsters in a protected area will migrate out and populate other open areas, proving closers do work?? or do i have this all wrong?

Tagging typically will tell them when the age/size when tagged, and growth since. Unsure if it will tell them how and where they traveled, but it will most certainly tell them where they were put in at and where they were picked up. Therefore, if it is caught where they dropped it, it would substantiate their theory of non-migration, thus (in their puny clouded eyes) a reasoning for recommended closure of said area to not deplete the stock, esp if it were a female or large breeder male. And conversely, if it has migrated, it would further substantiate their theory that it is warranted to recommend a closure since they are migratory...
