If I understand you rightly what is “inciting” the conflict now is warming ocean waters.? That should certainly factor into the story.? However, if the lobsters are migrating northward because of warming waters, then shouldn’t the dramatic problem be American lobster men poaching in Canadian waters and areas in international waters traditionally claimed and worked by Canadians??? IOW: who really are the designated “bad guys” in this scenario?? If the Canadians are, then what is motivating them to come south?? Seems like? the Americans wold be the group more negatively impacted by warming waters.

That to me poses the interesting dilemma – is she actually less cynical or is the love she feels for the lead singer skewing her perspective?

Another thought. If it’s an ensemble story you want to tell (versus focusing on one main character) than the bucket lists can’t be all about doing the same thing.? Ensemble plots work best when they involve stories told in counterpoint, that is, with complementary and contrasting story threads playing off each other and? oriented around one central theme.
One too-obvious story thread is about a character who takes a risk or breaks a rule she didn’t have the guts to take as a teen.? Okay, but that would be more effectively told if played against a story thread about a character who had the guts to take all kinds of risks, break all the rules in high school — and now she wants to make amends for the damage her reckless behavior caused.
