Seashore Splash!
National Biodiversity Week 15-24 May 2026
Welcome to our Explore Your Shore! Seashore Splash! for Biodiversity Week 2026.
From Friday 15th to Sunday 24th May we are asking YOU to join in the fun and photograph and record as many marine species as you can on your local shore. How many marine species can you record in 1 hour?… how many can you record in one week?
Upload your records for our Seashore Splash! using our Seashore Spotter form or complete our Big Beach Biodiversity Survey, The Great Rocky Shore Bioblitz or Adopt-a-Rockpool! surveys.
Track our Seashore Splash! via the National Biodiversity Data Centre’s Twitter and Instagram accounts, and our Explore Your Shore! Facebook account. Also check this page daily to see how we are progressing and see the total records recorded and total species recorded, and find out which coastal county is leading the way in terms of marine biodiversity recording.
Not to overstate this in ANY way…. but the PRIDE of your COUNTY is dependent on YOU!!
Share your Seashore Splash action pics on our Explore Your Shore! Facebook page.
