Fish Survey - Thursday 21st August 2025

Thursday August 21st, 14:00 - 16:00

Want to learn more about the aquatic life that calls Deptford Creek home? Then join us on our fish survey!  So far this year we have recorded such species as Sea Bass, Common Goby, 3-spined Stickleback, Dace and Eel.

This survey is funded by the Port of London Authority Environmental Fund looking at all wildlife that uses the Creek including fish, birds, invertebrates, plants and even algae. The data will then be used to show habitat quality and inform future habitat management.

Spaces are limited so book early and please let us know if you can't attend.

What to expect:

- the survey will last about 2.5 hours and is led by a  conservationist

- we will be surveying on a sloping tidal foreshore in waders (provided) - yes, you'll be in the river!

- whilst helping surveying, you'll also be learning about the species we find in the river

- nature of the activities during the session mean we're inviting adults and children (10+)

What to bring?

- weather appropriate clothing, particularly trousers and socks
