Another 10,000 larvae hatched last night. We have released 7,400 juvenile lobsters to date. We’re releasing another 1,500 tomorrow and 3,000 next week at the Isles of Scilly! How good is that! These baby lobsters were born last night (photo on left), I asked them to stop moving for the photo shoot but they weren’t having any of it!
The photo on the right is what they look like close up.
I’ve just emptied the customer feedback box and thought I would share some of the lovely comments people have made. I can honestly say there was only one negative feedback form in a pile of 40 and it sounds like he came in when we were renovating a couple of the tanks – so apologies for that. So these are some of the things people have said:
A little gem of a place!
My son is lobster crazy and this place made him explode with excitement.
Absolutely loved it, will definitely be back.
Loving the lobsters.
So cool!
Wonderful to find out that local fishermen work alongside the scheme.
Being an ex-crawfish diver, in 60’s, 70’s & 80’s, its nice to see you sustaining.
My 7 year old daughter loved it. Its a shame it can’t be bigger. You should ask for funding to make it bigger, it is fab. (We’re working on it!)
Very interesting and informative. Good to see you support and promote your fishermen and sustainable fishing – WELL DONE!
This was a great visit especially for our 6 year old daughter who loved it and now understands about sustainability.
Having completed the developments over the winter we are really pleased with the visitor centre. Over the last 5 years we have really maximised the potential of the space we have down there and it works better than ever.
