Kentish Knock (England)


The Kentish Knock is a shoal (shallow area of the sea bed) in the North Sea, east of the Thames Estuary in southeast England.

An area of sand and gravel, the Kentish Knock is home to hermit crabs, sand goby fish, rays and catsharks. Channels in the sediment are believed to have been caused by glacial floodwaters several millennia ago. Since 2012, The Wildlife Trusts have been campaigning for recognition of a 96 km2 section of the Knock, known as Kentish Knock East, as a Marine Conservation Zone.
