L'étude de l'évolution morphologique des fonds sur un site expérimental d'extraction d'agrégats mixtes au large des côtes de Norfolk et à une profondeur de 25 m, a montré une érosion importante des traces de la drague en 24 mois. Les fonds avaient en certains endroits été abaissés de 2 m de profondeur par passages répétés de la drague. [...] L'observation des fonds 12 mois plus tard par caméras submersibles ne permettait plus d'identifier les sillons laissés par la drague sur les fonds marins. L'utilisation de sonar à balayage latéral 24 mois après l'arrêt des extractions a révélé une érosion quasi complète des sillons.
