National Lobster Hatchery

is a charity that was set up to support the cornish fishery and local lobster population. Lobsters are nurtured from egg through their most vunerable stage of their life cycle and released back into the wild. The visitor centre is open every day of the year except Christmas Day.

Today is our FINAL Sustainable Sunday - Fishing for the future.
Over 75% of the world’s major fisheries are either fully exploited, over-exploited, depleted or recovering. We all know that this isn't sustainable.
However, as we've learnt over the last few weeks there are ways we can change this.
So our biggest tip we can give you? Lets communicate, lets work together, and lets make a difference. Whether we're consumers, nature lovers, fishermen - we all want the same thing - healthy seas for years to come. So the best thing we can do is talk, motivate and inspire each other until we find a solution. 🦞🐬🦈🐋🐠🐙
