Recent advancements in remediation techniques allow for the on-site management of contaminated aquatic sediments, which serve as both nutrient reservoirs and repositories of harmful substances.
These sediments are critical as they reflect historical human activity and can contribute to environmental degradation if left untreated, particularly through processes like eutrophication.
The implementation of these innovative methods could enhance the capacity of water bodies to maintain ecological balance while reducing the risk of emissions from sediment disturbances.
