About
Rock pooling has long been one of Britain’s favourite seaside pastimes – and now it’s becoming a nationwide competition coming to Ovingdon Beach.
As part of its network of seven new hubs across the country, The Rock Pool Project is launching its first Bioblitz Battle events in Ovingdean, Brighton.
Thanks to funding from the ScottishPower Foundation, National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Marine Biological Association, these fun challenges will bring communities together on local beaches, encouraging people to discover marine life and record the rarest species they can find.
Each hub will give local people the chance to explore their shores, discover marine life, and contribute to vital citizen science.
Sophie Crocker, volunteer leader for East Sussex, said: “There’s something magical about discovering the tiny creatures living in our rock pools – and now we’re inviting the community to turn that wonder into action. These events are a brilliant way to connect with nature, learn something new, and help protect our coastline. I’m thrilled to be leading the Ovingdean
