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 New England fishing fleet. The case had drawn attention from fishermen who argue the requirements are burdensome and from conservation groups who support tracking as a tool for protecting endangered North Atlantic right whales.
Why now: The ruling affects ongoing disputes over fishing regulations and whale protections in New England
