Maine lobster fishery losing Marine Stewardship Council certification

Despite the suspension, there is no recent evidence that the Maine lobster fishery is responsible for entanglements or interactions with right whales, said MSC.

The ruling means Gulf of Maine lobster will not be eligible to be sold as MSC-certified or carry the MSC eco-label after Dec. 15.
