Harwich Haven Authority (HHA) has stared an innovative project working with Suffolk Yacht Harbor, where dredged sediment from routine marina maintenance is being repurposed to help restore a rapidly eroding saltmarsh and enhance biodiversity along the River Orwell.

According to HHA, the Beneficial Use of Dredging (BUDs) program has recently kicked off at Levington, delivered on the ground by Amicus Civil Engineering and Suffolk Yacht Harbor, which will pump mud dredged from its moorings into the restoration area.
