Hoping this post is a heads up!

What does this mean:

"Amend current v-notch definitions by adopting a “zero-tolerance” definition in the Gulf of Maine Recreational Lobster Area (a "V" shaped notch at least ¼ inch and not greater than a ½ inch in depth and tapering to a sharp point in the flipper next to and to the right of the center flipper as viewed from the rear of the female lobster when the underside of
the lobster is down). The Southeastern Recreational Lobster Area would maintain the ASMFC v-notch definition that currently is in place for the recreational lobster fishery;"

Is this about what size the v-notches must be cut?

I like this one:

"8. A public petition to lower the lobster trap limit in state waters from 800 to 600"
