"Some York County lobstermen are upset that a research vessel accidentally cut their fishing lines and traps.\u00A0A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ship is working off the coast of York to conduct hydrographic surveyThe York Lobstermen's Association said NOAA vessels have caused $25,000 in damages to gear since 2009. NOAA reimburses lobstermen $80 for each lost trap.\"We fish in pairs down here in York Harbor, so every time you lose a buoy, or lose a set of gear, by the time you add up the buoy, the rope, it's almost $200 each time you lose a trap, or lose a pair of traps.\u00A0 It gets expensive very fast,\" said Mike Sinclair of the York Lobstermen's Association.A NOAA official said the organization failed to notify Maine lobstermen of a schedule change and is revising communication policies."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
