Blue lobsters occur about 1 in 2 million so the chance of a fisherman pulling one up is quite rare. Yet, in August of 2016, a man just off of Massachusetts brought one up and immediately found national attention. This blue color is "caused by a genetic defect, which creates an abundance of protein that causes the blue hue" according to the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine. The lucky fisherman chose to donate "Bleu" to the New England Aquarium in Boston, where he can still be seen today.
