What is WEDA?

WEDA is a member of The World Organization of Dredging Associations (WODA). The Western Dredging Association (WEDA) region covers North, Central, and South America. The Central Dredging Association (CEDA) covers most of Europe, Africa, and the Mid and Near East. The Eastern Dredging Association (EADA) covers the Far East and Pacific region. The three organizations constitute the World Organization of Dredging Association (WODA) with equal representation on the WODA Board of Directors. The goals and objectives are common for each of the three organizations, however operations to attain these are independently carried out.

Goals and Objectives

To compile, present and publish scientific and technical papers for the advancement of the science and profession of dredging, navigation, and marine engineering.
To promote the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge in fields related to dredging, navigation, marine engineering, and construction by sponsoring or co-sponsoring national and international technical conferences, seminars, and symposiums, including publication and dissemination of the proceedings.
To provide a forum for the communication of scientific and technical knowledge, through technology transfer and cooperation among associations, societies, and all organizations interested in dredging, navigation, marine engineering, and construction.
To publicize the importance of understanding and developing scientific and technical solutions for problems related to the protection and enhancement of the marine environment.
To support educational institutions for students interested in pursuing dredging and marine engineering as a career.
To recognize individuals and organizations for outstanding engineering and operational achievements in the field of dredging science and technology.
