Scott Douglas, eminent coastal engineer with the University of Alabama, leaves no doubt as to erosion brought about by dredging. Where this was carried out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it has dramatically harmed Alabama beaches and necessitated ongoing restoration projects costing the public about $28 million. He maintains that such practices caused […]

CEFAS (Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science) Once BMAPA and their apologists claimed there was no long term impact on the seabed and its inhabitants from offshore aggregate dredging, stating that the seabed and the ecosystem dependant on it rapidly recovered from marine aggregate dredging. They are on record (on our MARINET video) for […]

A paper giving insight into the damage created by dredging, specifically the smothering settlement of suspended ‘wash off’ sediments over the seabed, impacting the animals and plants that live on and within it, can be read here. It stresses how animals with delicate feeding or breathing apparatus, e.g. bivalve shellfish, can be intolerant to increased […]
