Earnse Bay is teeming with life – from anemones to starfish, there are all sorts of amazing creatures, making this a fantastic place to visit.

But what about the people who don’t know that the rockpools are there? Or the people who aren’t able to go the beach for example, people in hospitals and care homes? How can they discover and enjoy the rockpool life? The answer: Become a Rockpool Roadie and take the portable rockpool to people who can’t access the beach!

Rockpool Roadies are needed to collect snails, crabs, anemones and seaweed from Earnse Bay, safely transport them to the location where the ‘portable rockpool’ activity will take place such as care homes, help people safely handle and learn about these creatures, and return the rockpool creatures to the sea at the end of the day.

If you enjoy helping people and sharing your passion about marine wildlife, this could be the role for you!

Training and support will be provided, travel costs will be reimbursed and there will be the opportunity to shadow members of staff.
