Marine Life

MARINElife is a UK-based charity established to coordinate and develop a growing portfolio of global cetacean and seabird research and monitoring projects. Through these projects and collaborations with like-minded organisations, they aim to further the conservation of the wildlife of oceans and coasts through scientific investigation and educational activities.

As a leading scientific data-recording organisation for cetacea (whales, dolphins and porpoises), seabirds, and other marine wildlife, they have been carrying out work in the English Channel, North Sea and the Bay of Biscay since 1995. Their original and longest running project was the Biscay Dolphin Research Programme, historically conducted aboard P&O Ferries' 'Pride of Bilbao' from Portsmouth to Bilbao until the end of September 2010.

In 2005, they became a registered charity as MARINElife and under this name directly run and collaborate on an extensive programme of marine wildlife research and education projects primarily focused in the European Atlantic region.

Projects include supporting several PhD research papers, monitoring Balearic Shearwaters and White-beaked Dolphins in Lyme Bay, and conducting scientific surveys of coastal cetacean movements and bird migration in the Channel, the North Sea, the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Biscay.
