The objectives of the Hatchery are to enhance the local population of lobsters for the benefit of the fishery and future generations to come, to educate the public on the importance of a sustainable fishery and continue to research and develop our understanding of the European Lobster (Homarus gammarus).
This is made possible by the generosity of people like you visiting the hatchery.
