What Does "Physical Regeneration: of Marine Aggregate Dredging Sites Mean?
Publication: Coastal Sediments '07
Abstract
The impact of dredging and the physical regeneration of a sand-dredging site were monitored over a period of almost seven years with side-scan sonar and multi-beam echo sounder. The seabed physically regenerated from the dredging impact within a few years, except for a limited area where multiple dredging caused a pronounced impact and the seabed remained in an altered state. Based on the observed results, questions arise regarding the meaning of the term "physical regeneration". Here I intend to propose working definitions of physical regeneration, which are dependant on the nature of the particular of investigation.
