Make a difference -  one rock pool at a time!

We are passionate about connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to the incredible wildlife found around our coastline. Currently, we have two thriving teams of friendly, rock pool wildlife loving people of all ages based in Falmouth and Plymouth. At both locations our volunteers play a huge role in supporting the Big Rock Pool Challenge Monthly BioBlitz Battles. As we grow and expand, we are excited to welcome even more volunteers to join us!
