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 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.
