Lobster stocks are dwindling off the Essex coast.
The Thames Esturary Lobster Hatchery, hopes to turn the fortunes of lobsters around by giving them a helping hand.
Thousands of lobster will be hatched in the hatchery before being released into wild.
Gary Humm runs the only centre of this kind on the Essex coast and took Owen on a tour of the hatchery and learning space which has recently been added thanks to financial support from the Harwich Haven Port Authority.
If you've got a story, Owen would like to hear from you! Email essexbytheseapodcast@gmail.com
