Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that, given the restricted depth at which fishing is possible at present, hydraulic dredging is unlikely to have persistent effects on most of the infaunal community in most habitats.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A clear and un-confounded demonstration of the potential for dredging activities to cause large scale increases in water column contamination and the usefulness of external reference locations in overcoming temporal confounding in bioaccumulation studies is presented.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The effects of dredging on mobilisation of trace metals (Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb) were identified and the intensities and time scales of trace metal mobilisation were investigated during an experimental dredging project conducted under field conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how toxic compounds are mobilized during dredging operations in the channel of the Port of Santos, Brazil, in an attempt to assess changes in the bioavailability and toxicity of these contaminants.
Abstract: Background, aim, and scope Contaminated sediments are a worldwide problem, and mobilization of contaminants is one of the most critical issues in environmental risk assessment insofar as dredging projects are concerned. The investigation of how toxic compounds are mobilized during dredging operations in the channel of the Port of Santos, Brazil, was conducted in an attempt to assess changes in the bioavailability and toxicity of these contaminants.
