About the event

Big Rock Pool Challenge: Community BioBlitz Festival 2025
We are excited to gather together for a jam-packed 24 hours of wildlife recording and celebrating our stunning coastline!

Our Coast. Our Climate. Our Future.

This year at the Community Bioblitz Festival 2025, we are excited to gather together from 19-20 September, for a jam-packed 24 hours of wildlife recording and celebrating our stunning coastline in the UK. Our theme for this year is ‘Our Coast. Our Climate. Our Future.’ We want to focus on climate-sensitive species and generate vital biodiversity data to support scientific research, conservation efforts, and regional climate resilience planning.

Highlights of the event include:

-24-hour coastal BioBlitz (including a night rock pool session!) focusing on climate-sensitive species
-Expert-led workshops and talks on wildlife conservation and climate impacts
-Camping and outdoor activities, including stand-up paddleboarding and snorkelling (Additional fee will apply)
-Hands-on training in species identification and citizen science methods
-Community networking hub featuring local partners and groups
-Wellbeing activities promoting a healthy relationship between the community and nature

The BioBlitz is designed to be inclusive, engaging, and educational, empowering local communities to become long-term stewards of the coastal environment.
The full event rundown will be announced in early August on our website ( https://www.therockpoolproject.co.uk/community-bioblitz-fesitival ).

Thanks to the generous support of the ScottishPower Foundation , National Lottery Heritage Fund , and the Duke of Cornwall’s Marine Environment Fund , this immersive 24-hour biodiversity challenge will bring together local communities, organisations, and nature enthusiasts to celebrate biodiversity, encourage wildlife recording, and promote climate and environmental awareness.
