Maine Landings

Landings is the newsletter of the Maine Lobstermen’s Association (MLA). In 2010, a New Voices grant helped the association create a separate new site, landings.org. Then in 2013, the Maine Lobstermen’s Community Alliance (MLCA), the sister, non-profit organization of the MLA, launched Landings as part of alliance’s site. The newsletter also covers association news.
