The Thames Estuary Partnership (TEP) is an independent charity that improves and builds understanding of one of the world’s most famous rivers.

We bring together key stakeholders in the tidal Thames, working in partnership to improve the river both for London’s inhabitants and for the wildlife that it is home to. We work with governmental bodies, port and local authorities, riverside developers, NGOs, community groups, passionate individuals and the wider public to maximise our positive impact on this unique river.

TEP runs a number of influential projects working towards bringing benefits to the ecosystems and people of the Thames Estuary. These range from ecological groundwork to social outreach, from data processing to spatial mapping.

One of TEP's principal aims is to bring together Thames stakeholders to collaborate on the conservation and sustainable development of the Thames. TEP runs, or participates in, a number of forums that work towards this objective.
