All those tools generally included under the concept of environmental dredging are especially important for the successful implementation of this type of projects.Įnvironmental dredging operations are carried out for the removal of sensitive or toxic sludge and sediments from the environment, thus reducing environmental impact risks. Fortunately, a series of tools have been developed in recent years for the carrying out of regeneration projects, not only in a respectful and environmentally sustainable manner, but at much lower costs than with traditional techniques. And be it because of technical complexity, ineffectiveness of a fragmented and uncoordinated administration, politicization -and corruption- of the academic and management environments, shortage of agents with the required operational capacity or budget cuts trailing from the crisis, after many years since their identification and characterization, these environmental projects remain awaiting for effective solutions.īecause when it rains, it pours, everything seems to indicate that these problems will tend to worsen, as the effects of global warming and globalization make their mark on the sea level, changes in weather patterns, ocean acidification, coastal erosion, the proliferation of invasive species or eutrophication. From the muddy Ría de O Burgo in Coruña to the degradation of the Mar Menor in Murcia, passing through the water hyacinth-infested Guadiana river in Badajoz, the eroded coast of the southern Portuguese Algaravia or the loss of depth in many Mediterranean ports, without forgetting the accumulation of toxic sludge resulting from mining or industrial activities -as in the Flix reservoir-, environmental homework is stocking up in the Iberian Peninsula.
