Our Aims

The Save Our Seabirds Trust has two aims:

The ambulance operation

Rescuing and supporting the rescue and are of seabirds injured by marine pollution, i.e. once damage has been done.

Education

Raising public awareness of how densely populated, industrialised countries like those bordering the channel and North Sea are threatening the marine ecology/environment by discharging pollutants into the sea and by dredging for aggregates and using fishing techniques which disrupt life on the sea-bed.

The four main kinds of marine pollutants are:

OIL: SEWAGE: GARBAGE: CHEMICALS

They are discharged both from the land and from vessels at sea.
The public can do a good deal to stop the destruction of the marine environment.

Detailed information on pollutants and disruption of the sea-bed can be found here in future SOS web pages.

The SOS Trust believes that in order to save seabirds and other marine wildlife including plants, marine pollution must be stopped or at least greatly reduced. We try to raise awareness about what people can do to help.
