Our Keeping Bay Projects Moving! WORKSHOP SERIES 2010 is off to a great start. There was super attendance and dynamic discussion at our first session “Dredging Disposal Options for Today!”. New thinking; Nimble solutions; Faster, Better, Smarter–these are some of the workshop slogans that capture the essence of what needs to be done to ensure that all sites are available, particularly for beneficial reuse. Many actions were identified which are being reviewed on our video of the workshop and will be uploaded shortly on our website.
Stay tuned for information on our fall Workshop 2 to be announced soon.
