We are proud supporters of the'British Divers Marine Life Rescue' (BDMLR), and the 'British Divers Marine Life Rescue Cornwall Seal Hospital'.
Our commitment to seals and this charity is driven by our team's active role as a Marine Mammal Medic and volunteer at the Seal Hospital.
Every sale we make includes a donation to the BDMLR Cornwall Seal Hospital to directly support their vital work in seal conservation, rehabilitation, and welfare here in Cornwall. We also actively raise awareness for seals and promote best practices for wildlife watching and photography.
British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) was formed in 1988, when a few like-minded divers got together in response to a mass mortality of common seals in the Wash area of East Anglia, to do what they could for the rescue effort in response to the Phocine Distemper Virus epidemic that resulted in thousands of deaths.
Every year, BDMLR trains over 1000 volunteer Marine Mammal Medics and has over 25 whale refloatation pontoons located at strategic points throughout the UK, waiting to help stranded whales and dolphins. Medics are trained to provide them with the basic knowledge, skills and expertise to enable them to respond to a callout and act on behalf of that animal’s best welfare interests.
BDMLR is a registered charity, number 803438 in England and Wales, and SC039304 in Scotland.
