gathering at the Fishermans Chapel
from many corners
and other environmental hazards
on the delicate ecosystem along the Thames Estuary
once a landfill site but now marshland
and Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve
taking water samples
measuring air quality and ambient sound
hooking up a geiger counter to an iphone
how blue is the sky with a
cyanometer?
as a drone flew above our heads
samphire, mugwort, fennel, wild apples, blackberries
a veritable feast for foragers
collating information
geotagging images
making a digital map
the citizens data of historic detritus
a base line beginning as the shipping lanes grow
