Our latest film chronicles the naming ceremony of new high-tech survey vessel Thame, which was Christened by Deputy Mayor of London for Transport Heidi Alexander at Tower Pier.
Named after the Thames tributary that rises in Buckinghamshire, Thame is equipped with state-of-the-art sonar, laser and photographic equipment to map the ever-changing contours of the tidal Thames riverbed.

Cleaner Thames – back to the river
International explorer and Cleaner Thames lead, Paul Rose came back to the river to mark the third anniversary of the Cleaner Thames campaign launch. Boarding a PLA boat at Putney he set out to see how we’re doing in the battle against the tide of rubbish flowing into our world-famous waterway.
The Cleaner Thames campaign is all about stopping rubbish getting in the River Thames.
Every year hundreds of tonnes of plastic bottles, food wrappers and other rubbish gets into the Thames, harming creatures including fish, seals and birds. Backed by international explorer, Paul Rose the campaign has a simple message: Bin it for a Cleaner Thames.
