Two seafood guides have weighed against eating Maine's famed lobster, citing concerns over endangered North Atlantic right whales getting entangled in fishing rope.
“We’re hopeful and look for the opportunity to work with the fishery and others to figure out how to help them move forward,” said Erika Feller, a regional director at the Marine Stewardship Council. “Hopefully, the fishery can regain certification.”
But lobstermen and their representatives in Congress are furious at the suggestion that eating New England’s renowned shellfish damages the environment. Maine’s thousands of licensed lobstermen, they say, comply with conservation law and have taken plenty of measures to reduce the risk of ensnaring right whales. Evidence is scant that lobstering is driving the endangered whale’s numbers down, say both Democratic and Republican lawmakers from the state.
