Toilet facilities suitable for the disabled
Stairlift

At the heart of the NLH’s work is the lobster restocking project. Local fishermen bring pregnant female lobsters to give them a chance to release their delicate offspring in captivity, where there are no predators. The young lobsters are then raised to a size where they can be released back into the sea and look after themselves. Unlike most marine biology labs our work is on view for anybody coming to our visitor centre.

The site has level access and is wheelchair friendly. There are WC facilities which are also suitable for the disabled.
For disabled visitors who have arranged to visit the education or conference room, there is a stairlift, hearing loop and a colour scheme that will assist the visually impaired.
