Industry groups and Maine lawmakers are warning that a pending environmental regulation would decimate rural communities along the state's coast that rely on the lobster industry.

MAINE LOBSTERMEN, THEIR LIVELIHOODS THREATENED, PUSH BACK AGAINST CALIFORNIA AQUARIUM'S 'RED LISTING'

"I fish offshore federal waters as far as I can go and I've never seen one. My dad's never seen one," he said. "I mean, all of our hours together on the water and there aren't any sightings. It's pretty crazy, right?" And under state law, lobstermen are required to own and operate their own vessel, meaning it is exclusively made up of thousands of small business operators. Therefore, according to the MLA, the NMFS rule would primarily impact and shut down small businesses that are vital to rural communities along Maine's coast.

Hundreds of lobstermen, their families, supporters and political figures have rallied urging the federal government to stop proposed rules the fishermen say will decimate their industry.
