NEW LONDON, Conn.—A fisheries panel has cut the number of lobsters that can be caught in southern New England waters to help rebuild depleted populations.
The Day of New London reports (http://bit.ly/sb6AIP) that the reduction will take effect in 2013. It was approved this week by the Atlantic State Marine Fisheries Commissions' American Lobster Management Board.
Additional actions could include steeper harvest reductions and cutting the number of traps. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/11/11/panel_cuts_lobster_catch_to_rebuild_population/
