Dredging operations in the US are being studied to reduce contaminant release. Researchers are looking at ways to modify dredging equipment and techniques to minimize environmental impact. They are testing different types of dredges in contaminated sediments to see which ones work best. The goal is to develop methods for predicting and controlling the release of contaminants during dredging activities.
