    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering giving special permits to some fishing boats, allowing them to go beyond usual fishing rules. This is to support a research project by the Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute. The project aims to study American lobster genetics to improve how lobsters are managed in specific U.S. regions. Comments on this proposal are being accepted until August 1, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Some fishing boats might get a special pass to break regular fishing rules so scientists can study lobsters better. This is like giving them a special sticker to collect more information and help take good care of lobsters in the ocean.
