Resolve, Regarding The Percentage Of A Lobster And Crab Fishing Licensee'S Lobster Traps That May Be Fished In A Lobster Management Zone Listed On The License As A Secondary Zone

This resolve directs Maine's Department of Marine Resources to study what percentage of lobster traps a licensed fisher may deploy in a "secondary zone" (a zone on their license where they plan to fish some, but not most, traps). The department must gather input from lobster management councils and develop recommendations by December 3, 2025. It will then submit a report to the Marine Resources committee, which may propose new legislation based on the findings. This is a procedural step to inform future regulations, not a current law affecting fishing practices.
