			\|Project summary=Levington Marina (Map 1) on the River Orwell in Suffolk is dredged each winter using a 10-foot cutter suction dredger to maintain water depths around the pontoons and berths. Since 2014, dredged material has been deposited in 2 beneficial placement schemes licensed by Defra and approved by Natural England. Each year 15,000–20,000m3 of silt is dredged and placed on the foreshore. Operations are carried out between mid-November and early April.
			A Marine Management Organisation (MMO) licence is held by Suffolk Yacht Harbour for beneficial foreshore disposal. Dredged material is recovered as a slurry and conveyed by one of two fixed pipes to a deposition area east and west of the harbour where saltmarsh has been degraded and fragmented. The ends of the fixed pipes are moved each year to vary the location in which dredged material is discharged. Photo 1 shows the Levington Lagoon.
			Coir rolls and wooden stakes have been introduced into the deposition areas to contribute to:
			• retaining discharged material in place
			• impede flow
			• make it easier to deposit sediment during the dredging operation
			Significant accretion of between 100mm and 300mm has been noted during the 3 years of monitoring. It is anticipated that this will translate into more robust growth of pioneer saltmarsh vegetation and in due course colonisation by high saltmarsh vegetation.
