The Department of Natural Resources is proposing to adopt 13-188 Me. Code. §75 regarding whale protection. The new rule would promulgate various standards for fisheries in order to comply with NMFS' Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan. A public hearing will be held April 6, 2015, and the deadline for comment is April 16, 2015. See http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/rules/notices/2015/031815.html.
