On 12-13 December CEDA organises its Dredging Days 2012 conference and exhibition in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. An optional technical visit will be organised in the afternoon on the second day of the conference. Prospective authors are invited to contribute to the programme. Theme of the conference is “Virtue, Venture and Vision in the Coastal Zone”.
“Virtue” in this context is environmental awareness. “Venture” is the development of the coast for commercial purposes, benefitting the local and regional economies. “Vision” is the long-term planning development for aesthetic reasons, creating a sustainable future which supports and delights those living and working in the coastal zone.
