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.
