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
What's on offer?
Becoming a Big Rock Pool Challenge hub is an exciting opportunity to lead your own coastal conservation movement — with everything you need to hit the ground running:
- Full starter kit (worth £3,000+) — gazebo, ID guides, signage, safety gear & more

- On-the-ground support — we’ll join you for one of your first events
- Free t-shirts — for your whole leadership team
