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).
Likewise, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream and other milk products are termed as mucus promoting foods because of the presence of lactose in them. Lactose leads to mucus formation, which is why milk and milk products should be avoided over here.
Avoid mucus forming foods such as fried foods, meat and dairy products. Foods that help loosen mucus include spicy foods, hot chili peppers and horse radish are effective at loosening mucus. Drink plenty of warm liquids such as herbal teas to moisten the airways and break up mucus. Using a vaporiser or humidifier at night will help thin mucus (I use a vaporiser, both are good).
