Although seal rescue has remained a key component of the work of the charity, it has become progressively more involved in the response to stranded cetaceans in the UK.

We 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, we 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. Our rescue teams are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
