The Thames Estuary Partnership (TEP) manages the Thames Discovery Programme and is led by the Executive Director, Jill Goddard.

The Partnership is a charity providing a framework for the management of the Estuary; co-ordinates a programme of projects; facilitates new projects and forums for joint working; holds regular events and workshops and seeks to further the interests of local communities, local economy and the environment. TEP provides a neutral forum for local authorities, national agencies, industry, voluntary bodies and local communities to work together for the good of the Thames Estuary.

The Thames Estuary is a valuable resource for all who live, work and play in the area. It is home to 12 million people and supports a diverse range of habitats and wildlife. It is a rich historical and cultural resource and is a major focus for industry, commerce, transport, agriculture and recreation. Thus it is a highly complex area in a constant state of change. It is this complexity and flux which can lead to conflict, but it can also lead to new ways of working and innovative projects.

Thames Estuary Partnership Annual Forum

The Thames Estuary Partnership holds an Annual Forum for anyone involved with the Thames Estuary to network and share information on Thames-related projects, as well as listen to a programme of speakers.
