“Why is Dredging Good” was created to change the general perception of dredging. After researching dredging online, it became apparent that the public’s perception of dredging is generally negative. When I Googled “Why is dredging good” not a lot of information was found; however, when I Googled the opposite, the results were overwhelming. The only reason I can offer for such skewed results is that not enough people know about dredging and its benefits. In fact, if a moratorium were placed on dredging and all dredging projects ceased, we would all feel its affects.
