The Supreme Court is expected to decide by the end of this month whether to hear a challenge brought by lobster fishermen to the government's requirement that they use electronic tracking devices on their boats, and the case could have far-reaching implications for commercial fishing across the United States.

Frank Thompson, a lobster fisherman from Maine, filed a federal lawsuit against the commissioner of the state's Department of Marine Resources, pushing back against a requirement that he install a GPS tracking device on his boat in order to keep his fishing license.

In this state, where the lobster fishery is a vital and historic industry, officials required all federally licensed lobster fishermen to do so in order to comply with new US regulations aimed at data collection in 2023.

Thompson argued that the monitoring amounted to an unreasonable search and seizure, but a federal appeals court rejected his claim last year.

He therefore appealed to the Supreme Court, which is scheduled to hear the claim on September 28.

Thompson's lead attorney, Matt Gilliam, said, "This petition asks whether Maine can force private boats to carry government GPS tracking devices even when lobster fishermen are not fishing," and added, "We hope the Court will grant review and address this important Fourth Amendment issue."

Many American commercial fishermen are subject to monitoring at sea, through human observers and electronic devices, in order to collect data that regulators claim is essential for keeping the industry and fish populations sustainable and healthy.

Fishing groups have spent years trying to scale back monitoring requirements through the courts, but the results have been mixed.

Authorities have stated that the lobster boat monitoring program is important for improving understanding of a valuable crustacean population at a time when its numbers appear to be declining in New England.

Commissioner Carl Wilson noted last year that lobster boat data plays a pivotal role in "mitigating the industry's economic harm" and in informing regulations.

Conservation groups have opposed efforts to scale back monitoring of offshore fishing vessels, regarding it as a crucial component of broader marine protection.

Erica Fuller, a senior attorney at the Conservation Law Foundation, said, "Even if there are attempts to overturn the federal appeals court's ruling, the fact that New England's lobster population has declined, and that fishery managers urgently need reliable and detailed data to respond to the complex problems facing our oceans, does not change."

The backbone of the American lobster industry is largely based in Maine, and fishermen harvested more than 78 million pounds (35.4 million kilograms) of the crustacean last year alone.

This is similar to typical annual catches in the 2000s, but it represents a marked decline compared with a decade ago, when annual catches routinely exceeded 120 million pounds (54.4 million kilograms).
