A cross posting from my GCSE Natural History blog... fingers crossed the effort of building this will not have been in vain and I can mine it for support materials for new GCSE specification within a few years.
Norfolk has some excellent seafood and some very good places to buy it.
Discover the Wells Harbour Lobster Hatchery, where we’re dedicated to sustaining the local lobster population and preserving Wells’ rich fishing heritage. Through our innovative rearing practices, we boost lobster survival rates and support a sustainable fishery, benefiting both the marine ecosystem and local fishermen. Our hatchery is also a centre for research, education, and community engagement, offering tours that provide a unique glimpse into marine conservation. Join us in our mission to protect Wells Harbour’s marine life for future generations.
Think Norfolk and you think of Cromer crabs, or brown shrimp caught by boats which head out from the Fisher Fleet in King's Lynn.
There are several projects aimed at developing
Norfolk Oysters
Oysters are getting a new reef off the Norfolk coast where they can live and grow according to a report from September.
This is a man-made structure, but will help the oysters grow.
Norfolk Lobsters
This project is rearing lobsters and then releasing them when they are still very small, so that they can repopulate the Wash off the coast of Norfolk.
Both of these projects are aimed at increasing the sustainability of the local seafood industry. A whole variety of coastal pubs and restaurants are keen to secure fresh produce.
