Stochastic effects of dredge plumes: Development and application of a risk-based approach to assess ecological effects of dredge plumes on sensitive receivers

Dredge plumes and ecology have become increasingly intertwined in recent history; one of the more prominent reasons behind this is the influence of clouds of fine sediments released in the open water due to dredging (`dredge plumes') on for `sensitive receivers' such as coral, seagrass and mangroves. An Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) in...
