The Big Rock Pool Challenge, run by the Rock Pool Project, invites people across the UK to become citizen scientists by exploring their local rock pools. It’s a friendly, hands-on way to connect with nature, meet others in your community, and discover more about our rich coastal environment.

The Challenge blends shoreline exploration with digital science. During a 90-minute BioBlitz, participants use the iNaturalist app to record the species they find, contributing valuable, open biodiversity data while learning how to identify marine life along the way. Each species carries a rarity score based on UK records, and at the end of the BioBlitz we’ll reveal who has climbed to the top of the leaderboard.

Wellies on, phones ready — let The Big Rock Pool Challenge begin!
