About

The National Lobster Hatchery is a marine conservation, research and education charity based in Padstow, Cornwall, UK. What makes us unique is that our work is specifically related to a commercial species – The European Lobster and in the last few years we have successfully established ourselves as a centre of expertise on a global scale. 

At the National Lobster Hatchery we aim to raise awareness about the wonderful life of lobsters and sustainable fisheries.

We love sharing knowledge through education, in hope we can raise awareness of the vulnerability of our fisheries and of the many positive ways in which we, as consumers, can help to ensure sustainable stock levels. We have also linked this to the curriculum, covering a variety of themes and subjects.

We also happy offer talks to local clubs and interest groups, student placements, scholarships, in-house lectures and an interactive tour of the aquaculture facilities at the hatchery.
