Create your own Citizen Science Hub

 

We’re expanding! The Big Rock Pool Challenge is growing across the UK, and we’re looking for passionate people to lead the charge by creating new hubs across the Southwest of England and beyond!

If you care about marine life and want to bring your community closer to nature, this is your chance to make waves. Hub Leaders play a vital role in running exciting monthly BioBlitz Battle events—bringing people together to discover, document, and protect their local marine biodiversity.

Why step up as a Hub Leader?

• You'll receive full training, support, and a starter kit
• Join a vibrant, UK-wide network of marine advocates
• Gain leadership experience in citizen science and community engagement
• Be part of a movement that’s changing how we connect with our coastline

Whether you're a marine biologist, student, educator, or simply someone who loves rock pools, you can lead a hub that sparks curiosity and action.
Start small as a Pilot Hub, or dive right in as a full Hub Leader. Either way, the team will be there to support you.

Let’s build something extraordinary—one rock pool at a time.

Applications are open until 31 July 2025.
