  • Summary

  • In a bid to make the River Thames even more cleaner, the Port of London Authority is trialing a new passive debris collector off the Essex coast.

    Sited close to the DP World's London Gateway port, the collector is the largest of it's kind and is hoped to reduce the amount of rubbish that collects on certain parts of the river.

    At the time of recording it had only been operational for a few weeks, but had already had positive effects on the river environment.

    Emily McLean is a Water Quality advisor at the Port of London Authority and kindly arranged for Owen to visit the collector out in the River Thames before explaining back on dry land how it works and what it is hoped to achieve.
