Ocean dredging is a process that involves the excavation and removal of sediment, debris, or other materials from the seabed or ocean floor. This technique is used for various purposes, including: 1. **Navigation**: Dredging can deepen shipping channels, harbors, and ports to allow larger vessels to pass through safely and efficiently. 2. **Beach Nourishment**: Sediments can be dredged from the ocean and used to replenish and restore beaches that have eroded.
