It’s been a long wait and I can only apologise for those that have been waiting for a long time for their adopted lobster to be released, but the hatchery is swarming with baby lobsters now. In fact, this morning we had to do an emergency release to allow space for the younger lobsters coming through. With the cold winter, we were not getting in berried hens (female lobsters with eggs) until March and they have not hatched as early as the last few years either (again due to the cold temperatures).
877 were released at the beginning of June at Harlyn by the Harlyn and Bristol Dive Club
40 were released at Trevose Head, 40 at Mylor, and this morning, 150 at Mother Ivy’s Bay and 150 at Trevone.
Next stop, Isles of Scilly where we hope to release 1,000 – looking forward to that!
