Our mission is
To be a European network aimed at incorporating sediment issues and knowledge into European strategies to support the achievement of a good environmental status and to develop new tools for sediment management.

Our focus is
On all sediment quality and quantity issues on a river basin scale, ranging from freshwater to estuarine and marine sediments.

We bring together
Experts from science, administration and industry. We interact with the various networks in Europe that operate at the national or international level or that focus on specific fields (such as science, policy making, sediment management, industry, education).
