FILE - A lobster fisherman hauls a trap, Sept. 8, 2022, off of Kennebunkport, Maine. A California court has dismissed a lawsuit from a group of fishermen against a conservation group that added New England lobster to its list of seafood to avoid. The lawsuit stemmed from a decision by Seafood Watch, which rates the sustainability of different seafoods, to add American and Canadian lobster fisheries to its “red list” of species to avoid in 2022. The organization, based at Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, said it based its decision on the risk lobster fishing poses to the North Atlantic right whale because of entanglement in fishing gear.
