These chemicals are introduced into our waterways as a result of our day-to-day activities and through industry. Many have been shown to be harmful to wildlife, causing disruption in the aquatic environment. Regardless of the source, these chemicals accumulate in the sediments in our rivers and canals, where they can remain for years.<\/p>\n<p>Regulators and managing authorities do not always know the levels, the locations or the effects of these pollutants. Nor do they always have the tools to assess sediments confidently and make informed decisions about environmental management. An interdisciplinary partnership of scientific experts, regulators, local authorities, agencies and NGOs, led by the University of Hull, will develop and test new tools to better assess, treat and prevent contamination from these chemicals. This work will be carried out at selected sites in the River Elbe, Humber and Scheldt catchments.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership also strives to reduce the amount of chemicals entering the water system by raising awareness about what we, as consumers, are releasing into the environment through the use of common pharmaceuticals and household products. This will include the involvement of volunteers in a sampling campaign across the region, which we hope will encourage them to become champions for a clean and healthy water environment.<\/p>\n<p>The project was launched formally with a kick-off meeting in Amsterdam in January 2017.

The \u201cEcosystem services: Towards integrated marine infrastructure project optimisation\u201d study was carried out by the Ecosystem Management Research Group (ECOBE) of the University of Antwerp. A specialist in ecosystem services and a group of experts from the dredging industry were also actively involved throughout the study to provide input on case studies and discuss intermediate results.<\/p>\n<p>The ecosystem services (ES) framework helps to analyse the impacts humans have on ecosystems and the feedback effects these changes have for the ecosystem benefits to humans. Today many industries, including those in the maritime sector, are in the process of applying ES to evaluating their processes of manufacturing and delivering products. The aim of this study is to show that with the use of ES a more integrated evaluation of the consequences of maritime infrastructure projects can be achieved. Five projects have been assessed along lines of the Ecosystem Services concept: two projects related to the construction of a new container terminal (Botany Bay in Sydney (Australia), and Western Scheldt Container Terminal in the Netherlands), two projects related to flood prevention management (Sand Engine in the Netherlands, and Polders of Kruibeke in Belgium) and one project with a new offshore windmill farm (Wind farms at sea (C-Power) in Belgium).<\/p>\n<p>For each project, the additional benefits (or negative effects) on 14 ecosystem services are assessed, besides the main project targets, to evaluate the integrated consequences of such maritime infrastructure projects. The aim of this project was to assess the feasibility of the ecosystem services approach to gain a more integrated insight, not to make a full societal cost-benefit analysis of the projects. While classic environmental impact assessments focus on the potential negative effects of a maritime infrastructure project on nature, taking an ecosystem services perspective allows to look at both the negative effects as well as new opportunities that may arise as secondary benefits to society. By targeting a variety of ecosystem services from the conceptualisation phase of a project and optimizing its design for additional benefits, innovation efforts shift away from \u2018avoiding damage\u2019 to \u2018creating opportunities\u2019, avoid destruction that is impossible to mitigate and create support from different stakeholders.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iadc-dredging.com\/ul\/cms\/terraetaqua\/document\/4\/6\/9\/469\/469\/1\/terra-et-aqua-141-complete.pdf\" class=\"broken_link\">Pdf article in Terra et Aqua<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iadc-dredging.com\/ul\/cms\/fck-uploaded\/documents\/report-ecosystem-services-low-res.pdf\" class=\"broken_link\">Pdf full report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aqZHYIQ7ucE\">Webinar on youtube<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sednet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Summary-of-ES-effects-Sand-Engine-1.jpg\" width=\"712\" height=\"513\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Illustration<\/span>:<br \/>\n<em>Summary of the ES effects of the Sand Engine project.

Applying a multidisciplinary and functional, holistic approach is essential to maintain a healthy natural system. Scientists and managers are searching for measures to adapt the ecosystem in such a way that flood risk is decreased, harbour activities can further develop and nature is conserved.<\/p>\n<p>This literature review gives an overview of a broad range of management measures that are, or could be, applied for estuarine management, including measures to change hydrology, morphology, biology, and ecological quality. Furthermore, the differences between the different management measures regarding its impact on 20 ecosystem services are identified to detect which management measures could contribute to specific estuarine targets and other relevant ecosystem services.<\/p>\n<p>By looking for trade-offs and synergies, opportunities to reduce management costs and increase benefits to society are revealed. This can help, in a first step, to develop an integrated management strategy among the many management departments and with respect to both ecological and socio-economic needs.<\/p>\n<p>Full references: Boerema, A., and P.

The sediment quality triad method incorporates measures of various chemical parameters, toxicological effects and benthic community structure in view of conducting an integrated risk analysis and assessment of sediment quality, taking into account biological and in situ effects.<\/p>\n<p>As the applied Triad method was developed for freshwater sediments, the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM), in partnership with the Antwerp Port Authority and the Flemish Department of Mobility and Public Works (MOW), commissioned a project to develop a triad assessment method for the evaluation of brackish and saline sediments. The project, carried out by the University of Antwerp, involved the definition of a set of sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) for micropollutants based on a literature inventory and an evaluation of SQGs quality guidelines. A set of bioassays was tested for their suitability for uptake in a quality triad method for brackish sediments. A sediment contact bioassay with the polychaete worm\u00a0<em>Hediste diversicolor<\/em>\u00a0, a sediment contact bioassay with the amphipod\u00a0<em>Corophium volutator<\/em>\u00a0and a pore water test with the rotifer\u00a0<em>Brachionus plicatilis<\/em> were selected for uptake in the test battery. The bioassays were carried out on sediment samples taken along the Scheldt estuary, the port docks and other brackish aquatic systems in Flanders. For the biological component of the triad method, comprising an evaluation of the benthic invertebrate community, a separate evaluation method is proposed for brackish non-estuarine aquatic systems and for brackish sediments in the Scheldt estuary. For the latter the M-ABMI (\u2018Multivariate AMBI\u2019, Bald et al., 2005; Muxika et al., 2007) and the Buckland arithmetic Occurrence index are tested as biological component in the quality Triad method.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed Triad assessment method will be further tested and optimized through application of the method on sediment samples taken in several brackish and saline Flemish waterways in 2017. The method will be published this year and incorporated in the sediment monitoring network of the Flemish Environment Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Contact: Kristine De Schamphelaere; <a href=\"mailto:Kristine.DeSchamphelaere@uantwerpen.be\">Kristine.DeSchamphelaere@uantwerpen.be<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>UNEP web-app for making decisions how to adapt to changing climate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The United Nations Environment Programmme(UNEP) has launched a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chw.openearth.eu\/viewer\/\" class=\"broken_link\">web app<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coastalhazardwheel.org\/\">infographic<\/a>\u00a0to support people living and working on coasts in making decisions on how to adapt to a changing climate.<\/p>\n<p>Rising populations and climate change are increasing sea level, storm intensity and rainfall.
