		The inner Thames Estuary, now named Thames Gateway, on both banks of the river, has been designated as one of the principal development areas in Southern England by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, and much development is planned for this area.
		The Thames Gateway is an area of land stretching from East London, 40 miles eastwards towards the estuary of the Thames, including parts of North Kent and South Essex, which has been identified as a national priority for urban regeneration.
		The Blackwater Estuary is the estuary of the Essex River Blackwater in south-east England.

	ThamesWeb: Thames Estuary 2100
		Thames Estuary 2100 (formerly Planning for Flood Risk Management in the Thames Estuary) is a joint initiative between the Anglian, Southern and Thames regions of the Environment Agency, which aims to determine the appropriate level of flood protection needed for London and the Thames Estuary for the next 100 years.
		The effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, increased rainfall and storm frequency, mean that London and the Thames Estuary will be at greater risk from flooding in future years.
		Thames Estuary 2100 is the first step of the process and will help shape the way in which future flood defence schemes are designed and managed.

		The Thames Match is recognised by the Sailing Barge Association (SBA) as a venue for barges to be awarded points based on their racing performance.
		The Thames Match takes place annually and provides the opportunity for those Thames barges that are still in a seaworthy condition [as the result of the continuing efforts of their owners] to compete in the lower River Thames for a series of historically prestigious prizes.
		'The Thames Estuary sea-scape is one of horizontals: bars of dun green, grey, ochre, distant ragged breakers, cloud-shadow and the white dazzle of wet sand.

	Introduction
		The converging of the Yantic and Shetucket rivers forms the Thames River which is twelve miles long, flowing from north to south from Norwich Harbor to Long Island Sound in southeastern Connecticut (Barczak, Chesery, Gagne, Malinowski, and Payette, 1998).
		The Thames River Estuary is a body of water in which fresh water from the Thames River flows from the north, and salt water from Long Island Sound flows from the south, creating layers of fresh and salt water.
		A study was conducted in which coliform and E. coli samples were obtained from the Thames River Estuary on September 27 and December 9 of 1999.

	View of the Thames Estuary with Shipping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Of all Britain’s rivers, the Thames is pre-eminent in its association with the capital.
		London has always been one of the country’s great ports, and for this reason the Thames has long been an artery of trade and communication linking London with the regions inland, and, in the period before reliable year-round roads, the thoroughfare used by inhabitants of the towns and houses along its banks.
		For these reasons, the Thames as it passes through London is a favourite subject of painters, whether as a facet of ideal landscape as in some many late eighteenth and nineteenth century views of the Thames at Richmond, or as in the example here, the great powerhouse of empire.

	PADL- Post-Graduate Services to TEFL Teachers
		Estuary English is a mixture of non-regional and local south-eastern English pronunciation and intonation.
		The heartland of this variety still lies by the banks of the Thames and its estuary, but it seems to be the most influential accent in the south-east of England.
		Estuary English has spread northwards to Norwich and westwards to Cornwall, with the result that it is now spoken south of a line from the Wash to the Avon

	Thames Historical
		Shorter ferry services were established on the Thames - London County Council's fleet of paddlers for a "river-bus" service within London, and the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway's Tilbury-Gravesend ferry which continues to perate and was run with small paddlers until 1893.
		It was not until the 1980s that the Thames could boast the regular presence of a paddler - the Waverley - albeit for a short two week season each Autumn, as the world's last sea-going paddler leaves her Clyde home to keep up the tradition of coastal cruising in the United Kingdom.
		The largest estuary feeding into the Thames, the Medway, also had a history of excursion services, although on a smaller scale but giving services across the Thames Estuary to the major resort of Southend.

	Movements of thornback rays in the Thames estuary in relation to special protected areas and possible management options (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Conventional tagging experiments, involving the thornback ray (Raja clavata) in the Thames Estuary, indicate that the majority of fish were recaptured within a limited area around the release sites suggesting that these rays form local sub-populations and exhibit only small-scale movements.
		In order to describe the extent of their movements we are now applying the methods developed during our plaice studies to the thornback ray population in the Thames Estuary.
		In 1999 we tagged 97 thornback rays with depth, temperature and light sensing DST's in the Thames Estuary in order to describe their behaviour and geographical movements, a further 100 rays were tagged in 2000.

	Tate International \| Turner: Reflections of Sea and Light
		However, despite the fact that sketches such as Shipping at the Mouth of the Thames display great spontaneity in the way that the waves and the glimpses of light through clouds are captured, it is hard to imagine Turner handling a canvas as large as this in the open air, on board a boat.
		The confluence of the River Thames and the Medway offshore from Sheerness was one of the busiest anchorages in Britain and therefore rich in subject matter for Turner.
		Blythe Sands are in the Thames estuary above Sheerness.

	What Londoners think is in the Thames - News - London Zoo - ZSL
		Even though 93 percent of those surveyed felt that the Thames is an important part of their city, they are ignorant of the aquatic life that the estuary supports.
		In reality, over the last 30 years, the Thames Estuary has become one of the world's most unpolluted metropolitan tideways, but its rich variety of wildlife remains a well kept secret.
		The estuary's mud flats provide an essential feeding ground for the internationally important migrant bird populations and recent research, carried out by ZSL, has also confirmed that dolphins, porpoises and seals are all regular visitors to the Thames.

	Housing growth in the south east
		The Thames Gateway stretches from inner east London, next to the City of London, along the riverside land of the Thames estuary, out to Southend to the north, and Margate to the south.
		The Thames Gateway area represents a major opportunity to help address the shortage of affordable homes in London and the south east and the regeneration of the eastern corridors in to London and out along the Thames Estuary.
		A team led by LSE Housing was commissioned for a study by the East London Housing Directors (a partnership of housing directors from the ten local authorities in the London Thames Gateway) in conjunction with the Thames Gateway London Partnership (a subregional alliance of the public and private stakeholders in the area).

	Sailing Just For Fun
		Though most of the author's trips took place on weekends on the Thames Estuary, the author, nonetheless, amassed an impressive 60,000 miles of sailing experiences since first setting forth in his diminutive craft in 1963.
		The first half of the book is dedicated to expounding the virtues of sailing in his shallow draft cruiser along with all kinds of tips for cruising in the Thames Estuary.
		To someone like myself who has never sailed in England many of the places were completely foreign to me, and I found myself regularly referring to "The Thames Estuary" sketch at the beginning of the book to tell me where the cruises were taking place.

	Maunsell Forts
		The Thames Estuary was a major shipping area with both merchant shipping and Naval shipping using the Estuary to obtain access to various docks located around the Estuary.
		Guy Maunsell a Civil Engineer was given the task of producing and constructing the Forts for both the Thames Estuary and the Humber Estuary.
		No consideration was made for the disposal of the forts after the war as it was considered at the time by the Ministry of Defence that the combination of weather conditions in the Thames and tidal action would destroy the forts in a relatively short period of time.

		The position is around 9 nautical miles North of Reculver in North Kent, 20 nm East of Southend on Sea and the nearest land to the North, at Frinton on Sea in Essex, is some 17 to 18 miles away.
