Federal officials have issued an emergency ban on lobster and crab fishing in a large part of Massachusetts Bay.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says the ban is in place because there is a high likelihood that endangered whales are present and fishing could harm or even kill them.
The ban will remain in place for the next three months.
