British Divers Marine Life Rescue

BDMLR are a network of trained and professional marine mammal medics who respond to call outs from the general public, HM Coastguard, Police and RSPCA.
In fact, they are the primary marine animal rescue organisation in the country and are not only called upon by the other emergency services, but also train their staff.

BDMLR is a registered charity and is operated entirely by volunteers. Their rescue teams are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

BDMLR have a wide range of equipment strategically placed throughout the country to deal with strandings of marine animals, oil spills, fishing gear entanglement and in fact any type of marine animal in trouble. This includes rescue boats, equipment trailers, whale and dolphin pontoon sets, a whale disentanglement kit and each area has a medic kit with essential supplies.
In 2008 BDMLR moved from being a purely rescue organisation and opened a specialist seal hospital in the remote Scottish highlands which wasn't being covered before.
