Sediment Remediation at Harbour

Dear Colleagues,

The ongoing increases in the capacity of both maritime transport and harbours necessitate maintaining safely navigable waterways. The management of the growing volumes of dredged marine sediments constitutes a challenge for harbour authorities. Dredging operations also present a risk of contaminating coastal waters and ecosystems. Because of their potential contamination, dredged materials are no longer systematically dumped at sea, and this restriction ultimately leads managers to provide deposit installations ashore. Remediation techniques are available and can remove, reduce, immobilise or confine the pollutants. The selection of these techniques depends on the management policy applied at each site. The purpose of the invited Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to the above topic and to provide rapid reviewing and publishing, disseminating articles for research, teaching, and reference purposes. High-quality papers directly related to the various aspects mentioned below are encouraged.
