Abstract
An environmental management system called feedback monitoring is being tested on a dredging and reclamation project. The system includes planning, impact assessments and monitoring. It is being applied in connection with a large infrastructure project involving dredging and reclamation of more than 7 million nf of seabed. The system incorporates the use of computerised numerical models of hydrography, sediment transport and sedimentation, water quality and ecological variables. The tool is applied for the planning, environmental impact assessment, development of detailed design and monitoring of the environmental impacts to control the compliance with environ
