Hydraulic dredging can cause visible trenches along the seafloor; redistribution of dredged material; altered substrate composition; and creation of deep, wide and curvilinear furrows while the magnitude of these changes is largely determined by sediment type (Kyte and Chew 1975; Gilkinson et al. 2003).
