'''Malad Creek''' or '''Marve Creek''' is a [[creek (tidal)|creek]] in north-west [[Mumbai]]. Located west of [[Malad]], the [[Oshiwara River]] drains into it. To the west is [[Madh Island]], and to the east lies [[Versova, Mumbai|Versova]]. Earlier it was surrounded by a {{convert|1000|acre|km2|adj=on}} area of mangroves. But now this area has shrunk to {{convert|400|acre|km2}} as the real estate prices in Malad went up. Malad creek is 5&nbsp;km in length.<ref name="exp">{{cite news|url=http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=120642|title=Malad's mangrove massacre|last=Menezes|first=Nadia|date=10 March 2005|newspaper=Indian Express|accessdate=2009-04-10}}</ref><br />

The Malad sewage treatment plant gives preliminary treatment of waste before discharging it directly into the creek, and in 2017 was considered "perhaps the worst" polluting plant in the city.<ref>http://www.afternoonvoice.com/mumbai-seas-pollution-levels-continue-extremely-high.html</ref><br />
