Appeals court dismisses Maine lobstermen's lawsuit against aquarium
Original: Maine lobstermen’s defamation lawsuit against California aquarium dismissed by appeals court
A federal appeals court has dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by Maine lobstermen against a California aquarium. The fishermen had sued over the aquarium's messaging about the lobster industry, but the court rejected the claim. The ruling is a setback for the industry, which has been pushing back against criticisms of its fishing practices.
Why now: The court ruling is new and affects an ongoing dispute between the lobster industry and conservation groups.
