Lobster farming: It's a snap!

The National Lobster Hatchery (NLH) in Cornwall, UK, is a pioneering marine conservation, research and education charity, whose main aim is to help conserve vulnerable lobster populations and preserve coastal marine biodiversity.

Set up in 2000 by the Cornwall Sea Fisheries Committee, NLH has been a charity since 2004 and operates as a social enterprise.

“We were set up to operate a European lobster stock enhancement and public engagement program, encouraging scientists and fishermen to collaborate, whilst seeding lobsters on their fishing grounds.
