🌊 Happy World Ocean Day! 🦞

Today we’re celebrating the ocean that connects us all — the living, breathing ecosystem that supports incredible biodiversity, coastal communities, and the future of sustainable fisheries.

Every tiny lobster we rear and release is part of a much bigger story: protecting healthy seas for generations to come through marine conservation in action, research, and education.

This World Ocean Day, let’s take a moment to appreciate the ocean’s wonders and consider one action we can take to help protect it — we can all play a role in safeguarding our blue planet.

Together, we can help our oceans thrive. 💙



The National Lobster Hatchery is a marine conservation, research and education charity based in Padstow, Cornwall, UK.

Talk about people power! 🦞🌊 Wow — what an amazing baby lobster release & beach clean event with our friends and . We were completely blown away by how many wonderful people came along to learn about lobster conservation, help release all 350 baby lobsters, and care for our coastline.

This was our The National Lobster Hatchery’s biggest public lobster release EVER — and together we collected so much litter during the beach clean too! 💙

It’s incredible what we can achieve when we work together for our oceans and beaches. More highlights to come! ✨
