Impact of maintenance dredging on macrobenthic community structure of a tropical estuary
TLDR
In this article, the authors demonstrate the impact of maintenance dredging activities on macrobenthic community structure of a tropical monsoonal estuary (Cochin estuary), located in the southwest coast of India for three consecutive years, while most of the hydrographical parameters (temperature, pH, DO and BOD) exhibited inconspicuous variations.About:

Sediment management in coastal infrastructures: techno-economic and environmental impact assessment of alternative technologies to dredging.
TL;DR: The comparison shows that dredging has both the higher costs and environmental impact, while fixed sand by-passing plants are characterized by the lowest environmental impact and operation costs that are competitive with dredging.

Seasonal morphodynamic evolution in a meandering channel of a macrotidal estuary.
TL;DR: The study concludes that the morphological changes in the tide dominated estuaries are strongly influenced by the fortnightly tidal variations as well as the seasonal river discharge variations.

Response of soft-bottom macrobenthic assemblages to artisanal trawling fisheries in a subtropical estuary
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the impact of bottom trawling fisheries on the densities, assemblage structure and vertical stratification of the benthic macrofauna in shallow mudflats of the Patos Lagoon Estuary (Brazil).
