Mills expresses grave concern over plans to protect North Atlantic right whales

Read Article Maine Gov. Janet Mills said Monday she has “grave concern” about a federal plan aimed at protecting the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale, and warned that if the plan is adopted it could prove economically devastating to the state and endanger the Maine lobster fishery. “The survival of Maine’s iconic lobster fishery, and in fact, our heritage, through the future of Maine’s independent lobstermen and women, depend on your willingness to act,” Mills wrote in a letter filed with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration on Feb. 19. Mills wrote that Maine fishermen should not be penalized by the fact that right whales swim into Canadian waters and suffer injuries from fishing gear.
