The problem of “black water” (sewage) pollution in our estuary is of increasing concern to boaters and conservationists. The Zoological Society of London and the Medway Swale Estuary Partnership are setting up a community-based estuary-wide water sampling strategy across the Medway and Swale Estuary to understand water quality across the estuary and pin-point potential areas of pollution release. They are currently designing the strategy with water quality experts and members of the community and hope to be recruiting volunteers to help us in May 2023. Watch this space!
