Fishermen and conservationists in Pembrokeshire are working together on a lobster conservation project. They have just released 130 baby lobsters into an area near Skomer Island. This is as part of an effort to try and sustain the local lobster population. Pembrokeshire has the highest number of lobster fishermen in Wales and lobster and crab fishing makes up around 90% of the county’s commercial fishing. There are also plans to start a lobster hatchery to release more young lobsters in order help replenish stocks taken by fishermen, if this project proves successful.
