Adopt a Lobster RELEASES
Adopt a Lobster was launched in 2004 and has gone from strength to strength. Last year alone 5000 lobsters were adopted! Your donations go directly towards the cost of raising and releasing our baby lobsters.
The following lists give details of people who have adopted hatchery reared lobsters, and the sites where those lobsters have been released back into the wild.

last updated 13/1/09 (updates are published quarterly) All 2009 releases have been allocated now so we are waiting for 2010 lobster season to start. We normally get broodstock in March and start releasing May / June after the juveniles have had time to grow on in the hatchery.
