"Many challenges still lie ahead for the dredging industry. Some of these challenges are

technology based while others involve developing improved confidence and better

working relations with the cleanup authorities, problem owners, and the public. Working

with organizations like PIANC and WEDA through sessions like we have experienced

today can help us realize that dredging contractors will be able to respond to whatever

the demands are of environmental dredging projects in the future."
