The Foreshore Recording & Observation Groups (or FROG) was set up in 2009, with membership drawn from the Greater London area, which aims to monitor and record these key foreshore sites in perpetuity. The project has funding from Tideway and City Bridge Trust and builds close relationships with everyone interested in the archaeology of the Thames, including Historic England, heritage and archaeological organisations and mudlarks.
