| Abstract |
Think of mega containerships traversing oceans and canals, carrying products that boost the quality of life for populations everywhere. Or cruise ships with thousands of passengers, young and old, enjoying holidays at sea. Or airports that service millions of travellers, both for business and pleasure, in nearby bays close to urban centres but far enough away to avoid congestion and noise hindrances. Or restored habitats of mangroves and bird islands that create safe havens for nature. Or storm surge barriers and replenished coastlines with dunes and beaches offering millions of people protection from flooding.
‘Beyond Sand & Sea’ represents the work of thousands of employees in the private dredging industry that make the world better, safer, more sustainable for millions of people. The International Association of Dredging Companies on the occasion of its 50th anniversary is proud to present the work of the crewmembers, engineers and scientists who make this possible. |
