About Us
Local 207
Our local started in 2013, after the lobster market crashed in 2012.
The Maine Lobstering Union was formed to give fishermen a unified voice at the state and federal level- a voice of just fishermen. We united and fight for fishermen everyday. For more information about the MLU. MORE INFORMATION
We also wanted to provide an opportunity for our fishermen to own their own Co-op. Maine fishermen control the product from the ocean floor to your door. Our members own Lobster 207
