“The National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow is committed to protecting and increasing lobster stocks but they are also conducting valuable research in marine biology and spreading their message by providing education both for those in the industry and the general public. Their commitment and dedication is unwavering and working with local fishermen, they have already made a significant contribution to the increase of lobster stocks in the area. However, the issue is enormous and not just restricted to North Cornwall. More needs to be done and if anyone can do it, they will! I am proud to be an NLH Patron and would urge anyone who is interested in marine biology and sustainability, or who merely wants to continue to enjoy eating seafood in years to come, to support this worthy cause.”
Nathan Outlaw, NLH Patron

“As a chef and food writer with a deep love for Cornwall and the sea, I am proud to support the incredible work of The National Lobster Hatchery in protecting and conserving lobster populations. From working closely with local fishermen to educating the public about the importance of marine conservation, their efforts are already making a significant impact. However, there is still much more to be done. I am honoured to be a Patron of this wonderful charity and encourage anyone who loves the sea, cares about sustainability, or simply wants to continue enjoying seafood for years to come, to support their work.”
Emily Scott, NLH Patron
