### Comparing Lobster Abundance and Price Trends

#### Task C
Compare the two graphs below and make a claim about the relationship between the two graphs. Provide specific evidence from each of the graphs to back up your claim.

#### Graph 1: Estimated Abundance of American Lobster by Year
This line graph illustrates the estimated abundance of American lobsters from three different regions: the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and Southern New England, from 1980 to 2010.

- **Gulf of Maine (Red Line)**:
  The abundance of lobsters in the Gulf of Maine shows a significant increase starting around the early 1980s, peaking in the early 2000s, followed by a sharp decline until 2010.
  
- **Georges Bank (Blue Line)**:
  The abundance of lobsters in Georges Bank remains relatively constant and low over the entire period, with minimal fluctuations.
  
- **Southern New England (Green Line)**:
  The abundance in Southern New England increased slightly from the mid-1980s, with some fluctuations, until about 2005, after which it remains stable.

#### Graph 2: Lobster Price Per Pound in New England by Year
This line graph shows the price per pound of lobsters in New England from 2005 to 2016.

- **2005-2007**:
  Prices varied between $5.50 and $5.75 per pound.
  
- **2007-2009**:
  A notable decrease in price is observed, reaching as low as $3.70 in 2009.
  
- **2009-2013**:
  Prices show a steady increase, reaching $5 by 2013.
  
- **2013-2016**:
  The price continues to rise, peaking at $6 per pound in 2016.

### Claim
There is an apparent relationship between the abundance of lobsters and their price per pound in New England over time. Specifically, when the abundance of lobsters in the Gulf of Maine starts to decline sharply around 2005 onwards, the price per pound in New England also starts to decrease significantly from 2007 to 2009. Following this period, as the abundance stabilizes, the price subsequently increases.

### Evidence
- **Abundance Decline and Price Drop**:
  The abundance of lobsters in the Gulf of Maine begins to decline sharply around 2005. This
