Lobster Cream on Countryfile | Cornwall Business

BBC presenter Charlotte Smith visited The National Lobster Hatchery for a behind-the-scenes look in last weekend’s episode of Countryfile.

During his visit, Smith explored the hatchery and met Ben Marshall, head of production, to learn about the marine conservation charity and the intricate work involved in raising and releasing lobsters.

Nicola O’Donnell, Chief Operating Officer at The National Lobster Hatchery, expressed her excitement about the feature. “We were delighted to be asked to appear on BBC Countryfile,” she said, “a fantastic program to be part of and an incredible opportunity to raise awareness of our project and engage a wider audience in conservation here in Cornwall’.

During the episode, viewers got a chance to see Smith join the team for a baby lobster release in Constantine Bay.

O’Donnell added: “We typically speak to thousands of people each year about raising and releasing our lobsters, so to have our work shared with such a large audience is a huge privilege and a wonderful way to highlight the organization of charity as we drive. in 25 us^th year.”
