Shell dredging as factor in estuarine sedimentation
Semifossil oyster shell found in tidal embayments in deposits of varying thickness was dredged from depths varying from 2 or 3 ft up to 40 ft by suction type hydraulic dredges for highway construction, petrochemical industries, and cement manufacturers; considerable quantities of estuarine sediments were placed into motion by continuous dredging operations; uncontrolled dredging can lead to serious depositional problems; exposed shellfish producing reefs can be damaged, small craft channels can be filled, and vital shore protection can be removed in instances where shell dredging is uncontrolled.
