Supreme Court rejects Maine lobsterman's vessel tracking challenge
Original: Supreme Court declines Maine lobsterman’s vessel tracking challenge
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear a Maine lobsterman's challenge to federal vessel tracking requirements, leaving the monitoring rules in place for the lobster fleet. The tracking mandates are part of efforts to protect endangered North Atlantic right whales, and fishermen have argued they impose costs and privacy burdens on small operators.
Why now: The ruling settles an ongoing dispute over government surveillance of fishing vessels and affects the Maine lobster industry.
