Navigation
Sustaining the recreational and economic viability of maritime regions depends upon maintaining navigability of shipping channels and coastlines. Coastal erosion and shoreline change are major concerns, threatening coastal communities, public infrastructure, tourism, and fishing enterprises. EEMS helps assess the impacts of changes to shoreline and bed morphology, allowing the best solutions to be determined.
Sedimentation
Sustaining the viability of a maritime recreational and industrial activity depends upon maintaining navigation channels, including depths of approach channels, and berths at marine terminals and marinas…
Flow Patterns & Velocity
Coastal waters and estuaries, as well as dams and rivers, are environments with significant impact on the regional economic and recreation activities as well as bio-diversity. These systems have a great range of…
Dredging Impacts
Dredging is commonly undertaken to provide deep enough water for vessels to transit safely into, out of, and around harbors by maintaining the depths of navigation channels and berths. Sediment can consist…
Shoreline Erosion
Erosion of shorelines can be a significant problem in both open and confined waters. Natural events such as rainfall and run-off, and large ships navigating restricted waterways can cause sediment resuspension….
