CONT

[...] Vale et al. (1989) indiquent que l'on note rarement l'appauvrissement de la faune benthique d'un secteur suite au rejet de matériaux dragués, probablement à cause de l'enrichissement en éléments nutritifs généralement associé à la mise en dépôt des sédiments et en raison de la capacité de recolonisation rapide des organismes benthiques.
