Abstract

It is inevitable for dredging to increase the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) of the ambient waters in some degree, which has the potential to affect the coastal ecosystem in various manners. Thus, quantitative under- standing of dredging-induced sediment loss is essential fur the reliable environmental impacts assessment. (omitted)
