Marine aggregate dredging is regulated in part because it can

  • A.reduce the range of the tide experienced along the whole shoreline
  • B.increase the salinity of the water in the coastal zone
  • C.raise the temperature of the sea over the dredged area
  • D.alter the wave climate and sediment supply reaching the coast

Answer: D

Removing material changes the bathymetry that waves propagate over. Licensing requires an assessment of the effect on the coast itself. Bathymetry governs how waves reach the shore. Licensing therefore requires a coastal assessment.
