Stranded Marine Mammals

[6347Karl]

At this time of year, the Seals around Kintyre's coast are pupping.
I thought I would take this opportunity to let members of the public that might be out and about, know what action to take should they come across any marine mammal that might be in trouble.

BDMLR (British Divers Marine Life Rescue) is an organisation dedicated to the rescue and well-being of all marine animals in distress around the UK. In 2013 we celebrate our 25th anniversary.
RESCUE HOTLINE: 01825 765546 during office hours. (07787 433412 out of office hours)

What to do if you find a live stranded marine mammal
Please note the place, the state of the tide and any injuries you can see without getting close and call 01825 765546 during office hours.
After 5pm on working days, or at weekends or Bank Holidays, please call our out of hours number on 07787 433412 (NB: this number does not receive texts or pictures). We will then advise you on what to do and will get a trained medic out as soon as possible.
