Protecting the future, preserving the past of Maine's lobstering industry.

Maine's lobster industry is a global model for sustainability, rooted in generationsof heritage, stewardship, and care for our ocean resources.

The Maine Lobster Community Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping that tradition strong. We educate the public about Maine's lobstering heritage, support scientific research that advances the industry's conservation ethic, and provide assistance to fishing families in need.

Community & Economic Support

From small harbors to island communities, we support those who keep Maine's fishing heritage alive by providing a relief fund to fishing families in crisis, and by contributing to disaster recovery and working waterfront initiatives.
