Students at Machias Memorial High School and Milbridge Elementary School are invited to dress in red this Friday, Sept. 23, in a show of support for Maine’s lobster industry. The schools’ displays are only two of dozens popping up around the county as Maine’s most lucrative fishery faces damaging regulatory changes from the federal government, which asserts Maine lobstermen could be harming the endangered right whale.
