The Maine Department of Marine Resources and the Maine Marine Patrol are asking lobstermen with broken or lost tags to contact the nearest Marine Patrol office for free replacements.
The Maine Marine Patrol asks that broken tags, if they can be retrieved, be brought into the nearest Marine Patrol office or to a local Marine Patrol official and exchanged for new tags. Unbroken tags should remain on the traps.
If more than 10 percent of a lobsterman’s tags are damaged, all tags will be replaced free of charge. For more information, call 633-9595.
