Stricter lobster fishing regulations abandoned due to industry backlash

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Maine fishing regulators have withdrawn a proposed regulation to increase the minimum size for lobsters caught, aimed at protecting juvenile stocks.
  • The decision came after fishermen's strong opposition, who deemed the change unnecessary amid existing pressures such as rising costs and new rules for whale protection.
  • The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission noted a 35% decline in young lobster numbers in the Gulf of Maine, necessitating the size change.
  • Regulators emphasized the need to comply with fishing management plans, despite the scrapping of the recent rule.
  • Moving forward, Maine officials will seek industry input to develop alternative conservation strategies.
