AUGUSTA, Maine (WCSH – NEWS CENTER) — April 8, 2013 — Maine's Ground Fishermen are once again pushing to keep and sell the lobsters they pull in with their fishing catch at sea.
It is an issue that has divided two fisheries for years, pitting ground fishermen against Lobstermen. This year is no different with Lobstermen being adamantly opposed to it. They say they have worked hard to conserve their natural resource and allowing fishermen to keep lobsters will harm what they've worked hard to protect.
