Seabrook Stream is a 24.1-hectare (60-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest Kent.[1][2]

The main biological interest of this site lies in the sixty-seven species of cranefly which have been recorded in areas of alder carr and fen. Four are nationally scarce, including , which is only known on two other British sites, and there are also fourteen other nationally scarce invertebrate species.[3]

A public footpath from Folkestone goes through the site, but much of it is private land with no public access.
