abstract: Contaminated sediment remediation is becoming more common throughout the world. Ongoing projects can be found in several European Countries, Israel, Brazil, Australia, and throughout North America. During the World Dredging Congress, it is an appropriate time to reflect on the developments in this field and the variety of approaches currently in use around the world. In particular, we should consider the following:
- What regulatory frameworks are in use or under consideration?
- What scientific approaches to evaluate risk are in use?
- What technologies are in active use or planning stages?
Keywords: Contaminated sediment, environmental dredging.
