| Abstract: | Some “What if” questions frequently asked during dredging project coordination are related to resuspension and dispersion of sediments at the dredging site. Suspended sediments are a primary concern of resource agencies, as exposure of aquatic organisms to elevated suspended sediment concentrations is perceived to be a source of detrimental impact. Likewise, redeposition of suspended sediments can be a concern if sensitive bottom-dwelling organisms (e.g., oysters or seagrasses) are present in the vicinity of a dredging project. Therefore, accurate information on the spatial dynamics of dredge-induced suspended sediments is critical when establishing the overall need for protective windows. |
