BRITISH DIVERS MARINE LIFE RESCUE

Our Company ... read

BDMLR was formed in 1988, when a few like minded divers got together in response to the mass mortality of Harbour seals in the Wash area of East Anglia, to do what they could for the rescue effort.

From these early beginnings, they gained further knowledge of marine wildlife and acquired valuable training in rescue techniques. BDMLR now provide a committed 24 hour marine animal rescue service.

BDMLR now train over 500 volunteer Marine Mammal Medics a year and have 20 whale rescue pontoons located at stategic points throughout the UK, waiting to help stranded whales and dolphins. Most recently, voluteers attempted to rescue the Northern Bottlenose whale trapped in the River Thames. Anyone can now train with BDMLR, you do not have to be a diver.
