Tetra Tech to monitor PortMiami expansion
An environmental management company has been contracted to ensure the health of the Miami harbor during its expansion, according to a Dredging Today article. Tetra Tech will be awarded a $20 million contract to maintain environmental oversight over the harbor expansion. Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company will perform the dredging and provide construction oversight for the project. Scientists from Tetra Tech will monitor water quality parameters, relocate coral and sea grass and construct artificial reefs. Miami officials and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decided to deepen PortMiami to account for the expansion of the Panama Canal. The projected starts this August and should be complete by the scheduled 2015 reopening of the expanded Panama Canal.

Dredging found to reduce fish biodiversity
Researchers at Penn State University find that dredging projects may reduce fish diversity, according to a release. Dredging is usually undertaken to remove detrimental sediment from a waterway. The investigators looked at 15 sites along the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania, comparing sections that had been dredged to undredged ones. They found reduced fish populations and less variety in aquatic life in areas where dredging occurred. The researchers say the dredging process increases turbidity, which alters fish-foraging ability. High sedimentation can also affect spawning, so species that are tolerant come to dominate ecosystems in which dredging took place. Image: A clamshell dredge in action (Credit: U.S.

Two autonomous underwater vehicles launch in Lake Ontario
Two autonomous underwater vehicles are drifting through Lake Ontario, monitoring a slew of environmental metrics, according to a release from New York Sea Grant. The high-tech equipment is recording data on fish productivity, food web changes and algae levels. Each AUV weighs 42 pounds, is six and a half feet long and has a slew of sensors, including side scan sonar and 10-beam Doppler. Mapping capability complements collected parameters like temperature, turbidity, pH and levels of oxygen and phosphorus, among others. The research is made possible through the Cooperative Science Monitoring Initiative between the US and Canada called for under the Clean Water Act of 1972.
