Protecting aquatic habitats
Dredge Monitoring
Dredging removes sediments and debris from lakes, rivers, harbors, and coastal zones to deepen and maintain navigable waterways. It’s routine because sedimentation naturally refills channels, creating hazards. These operations can disrupt ecosystems and water quality, so monitoring key parameters helps meet regulations, reduce ecological impact, and maintain transparency—supporting sustainable practices in waterways.
Dredge monitoring ensures environmental compliance during sediment removal in waterways.
Dredging can disrupt aquatic habitats and degrade water quality. Monitoring turbidity, salinity, and oxygen levels helps operators meet regulations and protect ecosystems. These measurements provide transparency and guide sustainable practices in ports, rivers, and coastal development projects.

Managing Dredging Risks
Understanding Environmental and Compliance Risks in Dredge Monitoring
Dredging stirs sediments, releasing contaminants and reducing water clarity, making compliance monitoring complex. Accurate measurement of turbidity, oxygen, and depth is essential to assess environmental impact. Sea-Bird Scientific sensors provide reliable, real-time data in harsh conditions, ensuring precise monitoring for regulatory compliance and ecosystem protection.
