CEDA Working Groups
Ad-hoc working groups or task groups are set up regularly to perform certain task. They bring together the wealth of up-to-date specialist knowledge and the experience of top international experts with broadly diverse backgrounds. Normally, these groups have a definite life time, for instance the working groups that produce CEDA information and position papers complete their works approximately within 2-3 years.
Currently the following working groups are operational:
CEDA Working Group on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission from sediment in dredging projects
CEDA Working Group on Contaminants of emerging concern in sediment
CEDA/HSB/IFHS Working Group on managing UXO’s and associated risks in coastal and nearshore projects
