ABSTRACT

This book has evolved from the IADC/CEDA series comprising seven guides on the Environmental Aspects of Dredging published from 1996 through 2001. When the guides were originally conceived, they were perceived to have a number of uses: ● to provide a balanced view of the whole subject of environment and dredging; ● to lead the reader through the state-of-the-art environmental evaluation process; ● to provide a source of information on dredging and environmental matters; and ● to provide more detailed references and reading.
