We are SO excited to welcome to the hatchery our FIRST POST-LOCKDOWN berried hen 🤰🦞 Here she is looking very content in her cosy new home. Don’t worry she won’t be lonely as we are now starting to fill our tanks once more with fascinating local marine life including velvet swimming crabs, hermit crabs and even some spell-binding cuttlefish eggs (if you look very closely you can see the baby cuttlefish growing inside!) We can’t tell you how good it feels to get lobster production going again and we really can’t wait till it’s possible for us to open our doors once more and welcome you to our wonderful world (fingers and claws crossed it will be safe and feasible to do so before long!!) 🦞❤️ #lobsterlove #marineconservation #kernowfornia #sustainableliving #wildlife #marinelife #coastalliving #padstow #staysafe

We are REALLY looking forward to the time when we can welcome you back to the hatchery with open arms – like this little lobster!!
While businesses around us are beginning to open, the NLH is working hard to get back on track but we will be staying closed a while longer just to be sure we have taken every possible measure to help ensure the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers. We can’t wait to see berried hens, hatchlings, juveniles and our other weird and wonderful sea creatures back in our tanks and to make the hatchery come alive again with its fascinating marine species and stories. Our technicians are preparing everything with utmost care and attention as we speak to make sure we will continue raising and releasing baby lobsters with as much, if not more success than ever before. Do stay in touch and keep an eye on our social media for updates - we are sure there will be many stories and shenanigans to share along the way as we prepare for Post Covid Doors Opening!! Thank you to everyone who has provided encouragement and support during what is the toughest challenge our charity has ever had to face. We have never needed your support more than we do now so we really do appreciate all you lovely lobster-lovers more than ever! See you soon!! 🦞❤️#keepingourclawscrossed #lobsterlove #marineconservation #seafoodsustainability #nature #wildlife #saveourseas #kernowfornia #crustaceancharacters #doyourbit #fishing #sealife
