Proposed regs would ban lobstering during right whale migration

By Sean Horgan Staff Writer Dec 24, 2020 Jan 20, 2021 The Massachusetts lobster industry should find out in late January whether the state will bar lobstering in all state waters from February to May as a protective measure for the imperiled North Atlantic right whales. The state Division of Marine Fisheries has drafted new protective recommendations that, if approved on Jan. 28 by the state Marine Fisheries Advisory Commission, would prohibit lobstermen in 2021 from setting or hauling traps throughout state waters during the months coinciding with the right whales annual migration and feeding though Massachusetts waters. The proposals also mandate lobstermen use weaker vertical buoy lines designed to break under 1,700 pounds of tension to help mitigate whale entanglements in fishing gear.

Massachusetts officials plan lobster-fishing bans to protect right whales

Share Officials in the U.S. state of Massachusetts are proposing a complete ban on lobster fishing in all state waters during periods when the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale is in the region. The new regulations would prevent lobstermen from setting traps between February and May – and potentially longer if the whales remain offshore, according to The Boston Globe. The regulations would also require lobstermen to use more easily breakable rope, limit the state’s lobster catch, and curtail the use of gillnets in state waters. The proposal is the latest escalation in efforts to protect the North Atlantic right whale, which is one of the most endangered species on the planet. Current estimates put the total population of the species at roughly 356, with dozens of whales dying in recent years from entanglement-related causes.
