T
HE management of regional sediments of the Gulf of
Thailand (GoT) is being study by several Thai researchers.
Historically, sediment studies were isolated to individual
projects along a limited stretch of shoreline. This
study, however, recognizes that the sediment management
must be addressed on a regional basis because engineering
activities or constructions that influence sediment processes
in one location can have unforeseen consequences tens or
hundreds of kilometers away.
