Regional Sediment ManagementEstablished 1999, CERB Charge

“A systems approach using best management practices for more efficient and effective use of sediments in coastal, estuarine, and inland environments for healthier and more resilient systems.”

• Recognizes sediment as a valuable resource• Work across business lines, projects, and authorities to create short and long-term economically

viable and environmentally sustainable solutions• Improve operational efficiencies and natural exchange of sediments• Consider regional implications of project scale actions and benefits• Apply/Enhance tools and technologies for regional approaches• Share lessons learned, information, data, tools, and technologies• Communicate and collaborate




RSM Goals and Strategies

• Keep sediments in the system• Mimic natural sediment processes• Reduce unwanted sedimentation• Environmental enhancement• Maintain & protect infrastructure
