Report your sighting

We immediately reported this to the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) through their website. Reporting these sightings will help ZSL to make sense of the biodiversity in the Thames and will help with conservation.

So, if you 're lucky enough to see a marine mammal, please report your sighting via the ZSL website.

Over the last 13 years over 2,000 marine mammal sightings have been reported to ZSL from the Thames. These sightings have demonstrated that seals and porpoises are regular visitors in the Thames all the way up to Teddington lock, and are present in the estuary year around.
