CEDA Information Paper "Dredging and the environment: moving sediments in natural systems" published
23 December 2009
In this short and timely paper the Environment Commission of CEDA (CEC) sets out its consolidated view on what environmentally responsible dredging means at the beginning of the 21st century. CEC is made up of expert representatives from regulators, consultants, researchers, dredge builders and port authorities as well as dredging contractors from across the CEDA region.
The document concludes that "Present day dredging projects should be conscious of the natural environment and work in line with nature to optimize designs and working methods."
The two-page document consists of five brief sections under the following headings - strong statements themselves:
- Dredging is necessary
- Dredging changes the environment
- Dredging is sediment management
- Dredging is legislated
- Dredging is "building with nature"
