Tis the season for finding out how well Maine fisherfolk did last year; specifically, Maine lobsterfolk.<\/p>\n

Most of the news sites in Maine do a feature on the annual landings (here’s one from Bangor Daily News<\/a>). There was a marked decline — the largest ever — in both poundage and revenue in 2017 and many sources point to the need to improve fishery management to help ensure both the environmental and economic health of the state.<\/p>\n

My preferred view for this annual catch comparison is a connected scatterplot, tracing a path along the years. That way you get the feel of a time-series with the actual poundage-to-value without having to resort to two charts or (heaven forbid) a dual-geom\/dual-axis chart.<\/p>\n

The State of Maine Department of Marine Resources makes the data available<\/a> but it’s in a PDF:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thankfully, the PDF is not obfuscated and is just a plain table so it’s easy to parse and turn into:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The code to retrieve the PDF, parse it and produce said connected scatterplot is below.<\/p>\n
