Flying Rings Campaign

IMG_5347.jpeg

Seals are suffering painful injuries and often death by lost or discarded plastic flying rings floating in our seas.

These rings are potential toys to curious seals. A few moments of natural curiosity will soon turn into a nightmare when they become entangled around their necks.

As seals grow, the rings tighten causing infection, unnecessary pain, suffering and often death.

Sadly, many cannot be rescued but those which are, cost wildlife rehabilitation hospitals up to £15,000 for each seal in their care.

Please sign and share the petition to ban the sale of flying rings to help save our seals. 

Seal Ambassador Programme

Meet Artie the seal! Artie was created for us by beach plastic artist Emily Barker. Following seal talks with children rowers at Fulham Reach Boat Club, the children used recycled materials to decorate Artie. Once completed, the seal will be part of a larger community art exhibit to share that knowledge with the general public. This is being done with multiple clubs along the river. Those who have receieved a talk become seal ambassadors who can use their new found knowledge to help protect seals everywhere. Clubs that have participated in the project are given seal rescue kits, which BDMLR medics can use to ensure faster seal rescues, when needed. Materials and the rescue kits can be costly. If you would like to help sponsor this project please hit the donate button below.
