INSPIRING, LEARNING
& CONNECTING

Our flagship project: The Big Rock Pool Challenge is an exciting initiative that engages communities by exploring the incredible marine biodiversity along the UK coastline.

Join the National BioBlitz – Let’s Discover What’s Living on Our Shores!

Be part of the UK's biggest citizen science mission to record marine like in 2025.

This May, join the Big Rock Pool Challenge: National BioBlitz as well — a week-long nationwide mission to discover, record, and protect marine life, with a special focus on invasive species that threaten our native shores.

As part of the Big Rock Pool Challenge, we are also hosting FREE monthly BioBlitz Battle events at Mount Batten, Plymouth, and Castle Beach, Falmouth. These events offer people of all ages and abilities a fun, competitive way to engage in rock pooling and explore the marine life of the area. We are expanding the Big Rock Pool Challenge across the UK this year and engaging more communities in this exciting initiative.
