House committee advances Golden-backed bill extending lobster fishery regulations pause to 2035 amid right whale concerns.
Quiver AI Summary
Committee advances Golden bill: The House Natural Resources Committee approved H.R. 9436, the “Northeast Lobstermen Protection Act,” in a 22-13 bipartisan vote. The bill, led by Rep. Jared Golden and Rep. Mike Lawler, would extend a pause on certain new lobster-related regulations until 2035.
Supporters cite more time for science: Golden said the extension would give regulators more time to gather data and use “the best available science” while lawmakers work on rules affecting the North Atlantic right whale and Maine’s lobster industry. The release said fishing groups and Maine officials supported the proposal.
Next step: The committee’s approval sends the measure to the House floor. The press release also noted that the current moratorium was enacted in 2022 and that the Trump administration had previously signaled support for extending it.
