☆ Young Lobsters Show Decline off New England, and Fishermen Will See New Rules as a Result
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +3 min
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The population of young lobsters has declined nearly 40% in some of the most critical fishing waters off New England, officials said Wednesday, triggering new restrictions for the fishermen who harvest the valuable crustaceans. Officials with the regulatory Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission said surveys have detected a 39% decline in young lobsters in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank areas for 2020-22 compared to 2016-18. “We're seeing decline in those recruits.”The commission announced the drop in young lobsters just months after adopting new rules designed to better protect the creatures from overfishing. The new rules state that fishermen must adhere to stricter size limitations on the lobsters they can catch when the young lobsters show a decline of 35% or more. How much the new rules will impact the availability or price of lobsters to U.S. consumers is difficult to say.

CNN —Video Ad Feedback Protecting whales from one of their biggest threats 03:59 - Source: CNNNorth Atlantic right whales and speeding boats just don’t mix. When a boat strikes a North Atlantic right whale, it can cause traumatic injuries and even death. Scientists estimate the species can only recover if less than one North Atlantic right whale dies per year from these human causes. Over time, it’s become clear that even smaller boats can kill North Atlantic right whales. The North Atlantic right whales are running out of time.
