The Thames Estuary we enjoy is constantly changing:
Buoyage is now generally for shipping and altered for their needs and not ours;
Many fixed marks are not maintained and have collapsed or are crumbling;
Depths alter both after poor weather and naturally over time;
Tide data out of the main channels is patchy or unavailable.
As a result it will benefit all of us to keep as up to date as possible.
