FILE - In this May 2, 2016, photo, Bobby Kent pushes a baited lobster pot into the waters of Long Island Sound off Groton, Conn. Only a handful of lobstermen still work the waters due to a dwindling lobster population. Federal funding has been approved to begin removing some of the hundreds of thousands of derelict lobster pots left behind on the floor of Long Island Sound, a "ghost fishery" that continues to trap and kill marine life to this day.
