Programme Highlights

Historically contaminated sediments can be re-suspended as a result of sediment movement caused by flooding, dredging, introduction of new structures or from other marine or river infrastructure activities.

This seminar will outline and share         good practice for assessment and management of contaminated sediments in the UK and other countries. It will discuss how these could be applied and help HK practitioners to establish a conceptual framework and select the appropriate management approach.
