Deptford Creek Fish Survey - Thursday 28th May 2026

Thursday 28th May | 13:30 - 15:30

🎟️ Free – booking required

Want to learn more about the aquatic life that calls Deptford Creek home? Join us on our fish survey.

During last year’s surveys we recorded species including Sea Bass, Common Goby, Three-spined Stickleback, Dace and Eel, highlighting the importance of the Creek as a habitat for a wide range of wildlife.

This survey is funded by the Port of London Authority Environmental Fund and forms part of a series of regular wildlife surveys looking at all species that use the Creek, including fish, birds, invertebrates, plants and even algae. The data collected helps assess habitat quality and informs future habitat management.

What to expect

• A guided fish survey led by experienced staff

• Hands-on monitoring of fish species using safe survey techniques

• Support with identifying species and learning about their life cycles and habitats

No previous experience is needed — this session is suitable for beginners as well as those who have attended surveys before.

What to bring
