 The Maine Lobster Promotion
Council markets and promotes the sale of Maine lobster
in local, regional, national, and world markets year-round.
The Council encourages education and training of all
customers – including wholesale, retail and foodservice, and end-consumers
– about how to handle, prepare, serve, promote, and sell
Maine lobster.
The Maine State Legislature established the Maine Lobster
Promotion Council in 1991 at the request of the Maine
lobster industry. The MLPC is a public instrumentality
of the state, funded primarily through assessments paid
by lobster license holders.
The Council is comprised of harvesters, dealers, and
public members, one from each category from each of three
state regions (east, mid-coast, west), totaling nine
members. Members are nominated by the Lobster Advisory
Council and appointed by the Commissioner of the Department
of Marine Resources for three-year terms, with a maximum
of two consecutive terms. The Commissioner of the Department
of Marine Resources serves as an ex-officio member of
the Council.
