Founded in 1990.
Built on compassion.

Marine and Wildlife Rescue was established to rescue common and grey seals, and has since grown into a full-spectrum wildlife rescue operation. We collect, transfer, rehabilitate and release wildlife in partnership with the CVS Veterinary Group, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, the Broads Authority and SeaLife Hunstanton.

All our members are volunteers, dedicated to the cause of helping Norfolk’s wildlife — from the coast to the countryside.

“The most rewarding feeling is releasing a fit and healthy animal back to the wild.”
— Dan Goldsmith, Trustee
