"One million lorries of sand a day are being extracted from the world’s oceans, posing a “significant” threat to marine life and coastal communities facing rising sea levels and storms, according to the first-ever global data platform to monitor the industry."

WATCH: They Plough The Sea: Tug Barney plough dredging at Harwich, 23 August 2023.
Shallow-draught "shoalbuster" tug Barney at work today, close alongside Trinity Pier. This entails lowering a box-shaped plough, which you can see as she backs up, to a specific depth, then dragging it forward. The plough flattens the seabed, and collects spoil as the tug goes ahead, which then falls when the plough reaches deeper water.

WATCH: Dredger Alvar Nunez C D Vaca, carrying out maintenance dredging at Felixstowe, 22 August 2023.
After the completion of Harwich Haven Authority's major dredging campaign, increasing the depth of the main harbour navigation channels to 16 metres below chart datum, it is time to resume regular maintenance dredging.

More than 90% of freshwater habitats on England’s most precious rivers are in unfavourable condition.
The Observer’s analysis suggests the freshwater habitats are most at threat because of a cocktail of pollution from agricultural runoff, sewage discharges and microplastics, as well as damaging human interventions such as dredging.

WATCH: Not many ships SPLIT IN TWO - but this pair do . . .
Hopper barges Peter Caland and Cornelis Lely so something quite surprising - they are designed to split in two, down their longitudinal centre line. This means that the hull opens like a clamshell bucket, immediately discharging the whole of their cargos of spoil, which have brought up by dredgers which unload into them.

WATCH: Trailing suction hopper dredger Tristao Da Cunha returns to Felixstowe Berth 9 on the rainy afternoon of Monday, 3 July 2023.
This dredger will be working around Felixstowe's berths for the next week or so, carrying out regular maintenance dredging tasks.

WATCH: Holding a ship in precisely the same position with a fresh breeze on the beam and a tide running is a difficult, if not nearly impossible, job.
But it looks like Assister has her DP2 Dynamic Positioning system in operation as she stands aside at the channel edge to allow container ship MSC Venice to pass through.
At around 2minutes 45s, you can see her lower the plough, and make ready to continue work.
