NOAA's presentation made it clear that we need a lot more data to determine the extent of the risk that lobstering poses to right whales before drastic regulations, which could be incredibly harmful to Maine people, are put into place. — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, I joined Maine fishermen in Ellsworth to urge that NOAA ensure any regulations to protect right whales are based on sound data, and will return the species’ to a path to recovery with the least possible impact on the lobster fishery. https://t.co/HrvAcA6ByK — PolitiTweet.org

Maine’s lobster fishery is one of the most sustainable and conservation-minded fisheries in the world. The livelihoods of these communities are tied to the ocean, and they work hard to protect its ecosystems. Maine people shouldn’t bear this new burden in the absence of data. — PolitiTweet.org
