Industry groups filed a defamation lawsuit against the Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation after it said the lobster industry poses a threat to rare whales.
A coalition of organizations, including the Maine Lobstermen’s Association and the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association, filed the defamation suit Monday against the Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation after it placed the American lobster, a species found on the Atlantic coast that makes up most of the U.S. market, on its “red list” of seafood for consumers to avoid in September.
The 37-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Maine is seeking that the aquarium remove “all defamatory statements concerning the Maine lobster industry and its fishing practices,” as well as unspecified monetary damages covering “the value of all business Plaintiffs have lost or will lose in the future.”
“The impact of this not only alters the economic consequences for lobstermen and their communities but it has a devastating effect for the state,” Lipson said. “This is a tradition existing in Maine for generations, and one that’s worth fighting for.”
