The British Marine Aggregate Producers Association (BMAPA) and WA continued their long-standing collaboration by making a joint presentation to the CEDA Dredging Days conference in Rotterdam, November 2007.
The paper - Working alongside the Historic Environment: an aggregate dredging industry perspective - has been published digitially and can be downloaded here (2.09Mb): CEDA24: Russell and Firth 2007.
CEDA - the Central Dredging Association - is the professional society for those involved in activities related to dredging and who live or work in Europe, Africa or the Middle-East. Its 'Dredging Days' conference in 2007 focussed on environmental aspects of dredging.
The BMAPA / WA presentation set out the benefits to industry and to archaeology of taking a pro-active approach to the historic environment. More information about BMAPA can be found here.
