Recycled Lobster Rope Doormat, The Right Mat, Original Maine Lobster Rope Doormat, Handwoven in Maine, 24"x36"

“The Right Mat” is a door mat handmade from recycled lobster fishing three strand ropes. New federal regulations mandate that lobster fisherman can no longer use floating line to connect their traps together, because the northern right whale was becoming entangled in the floating line. The fishermen now have to use sinking line to connect their traps. Whale Friendly Mats From The Briny Deep! Did you know that the Northern Right Whale is an endangered species? Unfortunately, this is true. One Contributing factor is that the Right Whales become entangled in the floating ground rope used by lobstermen. Therefore, Maine Lobstermen are turning in their floating lines for sinking ground lines. However this comes at a high cost for the Lobstermen in time, effort, and of course the new rope. As a result, there are also huge quantities of discarded rope. We're here to say that out of every difficult situation there is an opportunity for positive change. We've combined good old Yankee ingenuity with a sincere desire to help both the whales and the Lobstermen by recycling the floating lines into "Mats From The Briny Deep". Because of rope texture, these mats prove to be very effective doormats, as well as a conservation piece. We hope that you will join us in this opportunity for positive change and a promising future for our marine life, the Lobstering tradition, and a greener environment by purchasing our quality handmade mats.
