GENERAL
Join us on December 11th at 15.00 hrs. CET for
this webinar presented by Astrid Kramer.
This webinar will focus on the need and
application of ecological knowledge in dredging
projects. Astrid Kramer, the presenter is an
ecologist and works as a project engineer for
Hydronamic, the in-house engineering
department of Boskalis.
Because dredging projects impact a wide variety
of stakeholders, a fundamental knowledge of the
interaction of ecology and dredging is to
everyone’s benefit.
The word Ecology comes from the Greek words
‘oikos’ and ‘logos’ meaning the study or the laws
of the house. It is the scientific study of
interactions between organisms and their
environment. An environment comprises plants,
animals, hydrodynamic processes, chemical
characteristics and… dredging contractors.
salt marshes,
mangroves,
coral reefs,
tropical rainforests,
the arctic,
rivers,
the deep sea,
shallow seas.
As responsible contractors our aim is to minimise
the environmental impacts. To do so successfully,
a thorough understanding of the complex web of
ecosystem relations and our role in it is crucial.
Not an easy task or one we dredgers can do
completely by ourselves.
During the last two decades dredging contractors
have deliberately sought out collaboration with
scientists and this has resulted in an increased
understanding of dredging-induced impacts and
innovative designs to mitigate and compensate
these impacts.
