MLA Legal Defense Fund

The Massachusetts Lobstermen’s Association (MLA) established the Legal Defense Fund to ensure that lobstermen have the resources and strong representation needed to stand up against unfair regulations and legal challenges that threaten their way of life.

Contributions to the Fund directly support efforts to:

• Protect fishermen’s rights in the courtroom.
• Safeguard access to traditional fishing grounds.
• Defend the future of the lobster industry for generations to come.

By supporting the MLA Legal Defense Fund, you are helping preserve not only the livelihoods of today’s lobstermen but also the long-standing heritage of Massachusetts’ coastal communities.
