A Marine Conservation Society spokesperson has said the lobster fishing industry in the UK at the moment 'is not in great shape,' saying it will take more support from the government to make a difference.

A hatchery in Whitby is planning to release 100,000 baby lobsters a year into the North Sea to secure future stocks of the crustacean and protect its fishing industry. But the Marine Conservation Society worries this and similar initiatives need to work alongside more ambitious government plans to help prevent Britain's lobster industry collapsing.

Also, we believe that hatcheries will work best with a network of hatcheries around the coastlines, around the country, to have the most impact.
