Abstract
Abstract A review of the literature indicates that there are very few quantitative analyses of the economic benefits associated with the cleanup of contaminated aquatic sediment. This is largely attributable to the paucity of post-project monitoring and therefore yields limited data on the link between sediment remediation and ecological benefits. Nevertheless, both the potential ecological and economic benefits are thought to be considerable. This paper identifies the types of potential economic benefits that may result from aquatic sediment remediation, assesses the utility of existing economic valuation tools for sediment cleanup specifically, highlights methodological challenges and identifies areas for further work.
