The MLA offers two types of membership: Regular (voting) and Associate. In order to be a Regular member, the applicant must hold a valid Massachusetts Commercial Lobster Permit (in his/her name).

With the exception of the voting rights, both types of membership offer the same rights and benefits. The dues are the same for both ~ $100 annually.

Download an MLA Membership application by clicking here (requires Adobe Acrobat).

Or use our On-line Membership Application & apply for a non-voting membership using our secure server (after filling out the application you will need to visit our on-line store).  Once you're a member, you can change your status to voting member by simply mailing us a copy of your Mass Lobster Permit.
