Scoping the assessment of sediment plumes from dredging (C547)
There is a minimum order of five copies for this title
Sediment plumes arising from marine aggregate and contract dredging are perceived by many stakeholders in the marine and coastal environment to lead to environmental impacts requiring investigation, monitoring or mitigation. However, while information on sediment plumes existed, it was disparate and difficult to use in a structured manner. This guide brings together current knowledge on plumes, addressing how they should be assessed, having considered the likely or possible effects of dredging operations.
The guide outlines the necessary components of a structured framework for assessing the environmental effects arising from dredging plumes. It considers the steps required to inform the decision-making process, and details the data and tools required to inform the steps. This is an important source of information for the dredging industry, developers, regulators and conservationists concerned with marine aggregate and capital and maintenance dredging.
