This website has been created to support the media/public interest in the activity of the lobster industry, following the formation of the LLF. We would like to make it perfectly clear that we have no connection with the Lobster Liberation Front - we are simply using the interest they have generated as a platform to raise the issue of crustacean cruelty.

In 2004, the Lobster Liberation Front took it's first action. The small rustic town of Worth Matravers in Dorset is home to Chapmans Pool, a small cove, notorious for its lobster fishing. In the dead of night, LLF activists (or buccaneers), rowed out to the lobster pots in the bay, and released 3 crabs and 30 lobsters back into the oceans.

Since this action, the LLF have saved crustaceans, sabotaged fishing nets, destroyed boats, dismantled boat houses and gained international media coverage for the suffering of marine life. This one action in Dorset spawned an international movement for lobster liberation, with crustacean marine life being freed across the UK, as well as in Sweden, Italy, Turkey and beyond!

Their simple, yet direct action garnered far more publicity than Greenpeace managed when they blockaded illegal traweler boats off of Cornwall. It fostered debate in newsrooms, provoked on-air discussions, and convinced many that boiling any animal alive is unjustifiable.

The Lobster Liberation Front are non-violent, and take every precaution to avoid hurting any animal, human or otherwise. They have saved many lives either by directly freeing them, or through educating people about what is on their plates.

There is plenty you can do to help lobsters, and other marine life. Click on the 'Save Lives' tab on the left and get active in defense of the oceans! If you want to know why lobsters are worth saving, click the 'Lobsters' tab.
