Experts from the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) and the Besant Memorial Animal Dispensary (BMAD) are planning to establish feeding stations for birds at the creek.

While casting a net to trap birds is not something wildlife enthusiasts will ever recommend, in Ennore Creek, it has been recommended purely as an act of conservation.

It is part of the Pulicat water system, which includes the Pulicat lagoon and the Buckingham Canal.
The creek is an important habitat for many species of birds, fish, and reptiles.
It is also a popular spot for birdwatching and boating.
