Effectiveness according to development targets of measure
Effectiveness of this measure may be classified by cost-effectiveness by ABP, however the potential ecological benefits of reduced maintenance dredging should also be captured.There was an average 0.5m difference between the results from the Mudbug and those obtained from the echo-sounder, reducing the volume of dredging required at a given time.
