Central Dredging Association

Summary

The Central Dredging Association (CEDA), founded in 1978, is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental, professional society for the dredging industry. It provides an independent forum for people involved in activities related to dredging and marine construction in Europe, Africa and the Middle-East, and aims to generate and disseminate impartial knowledge and information about dredging in these regions.[1] It is one of three dredging associations that together form the World Organisation of Dredging Associations (WODA).[2]

Activities edit

CEDA organises events including international conferences, seminars and technical meetings, site visits and training courses; in November 2013, it organised the CEDA Forum in Rotterdam.[7] It also produces publications including conference proceedings with peer-reviewed papers, and provides technical and scientific advice.[1]
