A Cornish marine conservation charity has been releasing baby lobsters into the wild to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

The National Lobster Hatchery (NLH) was founded in Padstow in August 2000 to help preserve, research and educatedthe public about the European lobster.

Now the charity is doing 25 releases in as many days as part of a "releasathon" to celebrate the milestone.

Theo Johns, senior technician at NLH, told BBC Radio Cornwall it was the "perfect point" in time to release the 300 baby lobsters – each about 10 weeks old and an inch (2.5cm) long.
