The Big Rock Pool Challenge – BioBlitz Battle: Beadnell Haven

14 November | 09:45 - 11:45 | 12 December |  09:15 - 11:15 | Beadnell Haven Beach | NE67 5BB

This free event welcomes people of all ages to participate in rock pooling and connect with the local community whilst contributing to important data collection. The event is led by friendly volunteers who are enthusiastic about rock pools and the marine environment.

The event begins with a welcome and safety briefing, following by a 90-minute BioBlitz - an event focused on finding as much different wildlife as possible in the location. Participants explore the rock pools and record their finds on our app and on iNaturalist, learning from experts and meeting like-minded people along the way. Each species also has a rarity score based on UK records, and at the end of the event, we will see who got the highest score!

Whether you're a nature-loving family, a budding marine biologist, or just looking for a fun day by the sea, BioBlitz Battles are open to all ages and experience levels. No scientific knowledge is required — just curiosity and an interest in discovering marine biodiversity.

Registering in advance is recommended. To find out more about our Beadnell Haven Big Rock Pool Challenge Hub and register to attend, please visit our website.
