The Massachusetts Lobstermen's Association (MLA) is an organization established in 1963 to maintain and protect the lobster fishing industry in Massachusetts. The mission of the MLA is to support "the interdependence of species conservation and the members’ collective economic interests" on the state and federal level.[1] The organization has currently 1,800 members fishing out of fifty-two ports in Massachusetts and is based in Scituate.
