A SPECIAL REPORT: THE COAST

LET ‘EM EAT TUNA: Lobster hunting, a popular wintertime sport along the South County coast, ended last week, and none too soon. Overfishing early in the season wiped out the harvest, leaving latecomers empty-handed, state officials say . . . . “It was really good when the season opened, then it tapered off,” said Andy Olsen of Dana Wharf Sport Fishing . . . Fish and Game officials tell divers not to worry, the population will regenerate by the October lobster season.
