The agency, as well as activist groups like the federally funded and influential Seafood Watch, say the regulations are part of a plan to protect endangered right whales.
However, Golden, along with the rest of Maine’s congressional delegation and Gov. Janet Mills , have been vocal about their objections to the regulations. Mills noted in a statement in September that not a single right whale death has been attributed to Maine’s lobster fishery and that no entanglement incidents have occurred in the past 18 years.
“Generations of Maine lobstermen have worked hard to protect the sustainability of the lobster fishery, and they have taken unprecedented steps to protect right whales – efforts that the Federal government and now Seafood Watch have failed to recognize,” Mills wrote. “No right whale death has been attributed to Maine gear, and there has not been a right whale entanglement attributed to Maine lobster gear in eighteen years.
Whole Foods announced in November it would stop selling Maine lobster at the urging of activist groups, which outraged Maine’s politicians.to the move in a joint statement, saying retailers have “wrongly and blindly decided to follow the recommendations of misguided environmental groups rather than science.”
