Message from DMR Commissioner to Lobstermen: Move Gear from Jeffreys Ledge to Avoid Entanglement Potential

Seventy-five endangered North Atlantic right whales have been seen this week just off the western edge of Jeffreys Ledge. 

I am strongly urging any lobster fisherman with gear in the vicinity of the right whales on Jeffreys Ledge to move their gear to another area until surveys indicate that the whales have moved on.
