November 1, 2024 — Fishermen in Maine say they’re dealing with a new setback: a nearly 90 percent cut in how much herring they can bring in to bait lobster.
Congressman Jared Golden says he’s opposed to the limit, which would reduce the herring catch by 89 percent over three years.
Fishermen in Maine say they question how regulators came to that catch limit, saying the fish are out there.
