About this listen

 The Maine Lobstermen's Association's executive director Patrice McCarron joins Dock Talk to give an update on three lawsuits moving forward regarding the future of the commercial lobster fishery in Maine in response to a call to protect right whales. Right whales are a critically endangered species in the Atlantic and NOAA fisheries have started to develop and implement new rules and regulations to try and protect the whales from extintion. Environmental activists and fishing associations both have concerns about the process, and as such have filed three separate lawsuits in response to decisions that have been made and the data behind those decisions. Patrice gives a breakdown of where we are, and some of the concerns she has for the future of the Maine lobstering community
