A federal appeals court restores a U.S. agency rule restricting lobster and Jonah crab fishing off the Massachusetts coast to protect endangered whales.

The Massachusetts Lobstermen's Association sued to block the rule, saying a Dec. 2022 appropriations rider reflected Congress ' intent not to extend emergency protections for North Atlantic right whales from earlier that year .

A federal district judge declared the rule void last March .
