    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering an application from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries for a special fishing permit. This permit would allow some boats to fish outside usual regulations to collect data on lobster and Jonah crab populations. The gathered information aims to help with scientific research on these species. Interested parties can send comments via email until April 7, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is thinking about giving a special permission to some fishing boats from Massachusetts so they can catch certain types of sea animals, like lobsters, in a different way to help scientists learn more about them. People can say what they think about this plan by sending an email before April 7, 2025.

    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.
