In aid of the National Lobster Hatchery, who will be exhibiting baby lobsters before releasing them into the sea at the beginning and end of the day. Consequently they are best known for their lobster stock enhancement programme. They rear baby lobsters from eggs, the most vulnerable stage of their life cycle, before releasing them back into the sea. As an example, they released 53,000 juveniles into the wild in 2014 and hope to increase the numbers over the next few years. Adopting a Lobster for just £4 helps pay for baby lobsters to be raised and released.
