Dredging is the process of removing sediment, debris, or other materials from the bottom of bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, harbors, or the ocean. It is often done to deepen waterways for navigation. However, it can also impact ecosystems by disturbing marine habitats and contaminating the water.
