Dredging Science Node

The Western Australian Marine Science Institution is delivering one of the largest single-issue marine research programs in Australia. It will vastly improve the planning and regulation of major dredging operations in our precious marine environment.

This world-class marine research is enhancing capacity within government and the private sector to predict and manage the environmental impacts of dredging in Western Australia. The outcomes will increase the confidence, timeliness and efficiency of the assessment, approval and regulatory processes associated with dredging projects.

Eighty-one scientists from ten collaborating research organisations are supported by $19 million in funding and working across nine integrated research themes to address key areas of uncertainty in the prediction and management of the impacts of dredging.
