WMTW-8 and 'Bangor Daily News' report on 51°µÍø’s acquisition of rare orange lobster

On July 11, 2015, both WMTW-8 and the Bangor Daily News reported on 51°µÍø’s recently acquired orange lobster—a one in ten million find, which, thanks to Hannaford Supermarkets, is enjoying life at the Marine Science Center instead of being eaten for dinner.

The lobster, spotted by employees of the Saco Hannaford’s Seafood Department in the daily seafood shipment, was donated to 51°µÍø, which is also home to a rare blue lobster.
