Lobster release on the Manacles - press release.

1. Wednesday October 3rd
Scuba Divers have released over 300 juvenile lobsters onto the Manacles Reef.
A volunteer team of scuba divers, organised by Mark Milburn of Atlantic Scuba, collected juvenile
lobsters from the National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow. They then transported them by boat from
Mylor Yacht Harbour to the Manacles Reef, where they were to be released into the wild. The
lobsters were taken underwater to the sea bed by the volunteer divers, then carefully released into
areas where they are known to thrive. Mark Milburn said he thought the Manacles was an ideal
place for the juvenile lobsters to be released, eventually benefiting both the fishing and diving
community.
