Abstract:
An extensive survey of both the creek system surrounding Canvey Island and Yantlet Creek on the south shore of the outer Thames Estuary was undertaken in October 1991 in order to assess the biological quality and to determine the impact of STW and landfill site discharges on the creek environment.
A total of 44 sites were visited, with sediment samples being taken for
benthic macroinvertebrate and meiofauna analysis and water samples for
bacteriology and salinity determination. The results from fish trawls in Holehaven Creek were also reported.
