Celebrating 25 years in 2025
A pioneering charity that has been leading the charge in stock enhancement and research for more
than two decades. This year sees The National Lobster Hatchery celebrate a milestone twenty-five years since its grand opening which took place on 20th October 2000.
Founded as a preventative method to a potential stock collapse and a direct reaction to the visible decline in local lobster populations. Their pioneering stock enhancement program to this day, continues to address the high demand for lobsters, helping to mitigate the environmental and economic consequences of a potential stock collapse in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, home to the UK’s leading seafood economy.
To celebrate their journey so far and giving fans and supporters a bigger insight into their affectionately known ‘Lobster Land’ the team will be sharing interviews from the humans that make it all possible, they will delve into the never before seen image archive and their first film ‘A Clawsome Tale’ will premiere giving an insight into their work. However to really showcase their impact the team have set themselves a challenge that will require meticulous planning, and mother nature to play along as they attempt ‘The Releasathon’.
