title: Assessing, managing and monitoring contaminated aquatic sediments.
abstract: Contaminated sediments continue to be a global problem that is too often not addressed in a logical, tiered framework. Such frameworks, when they exist, typically are restricted to assessment and prioritization and do not include possible remedies with accompanying follow-up monitoring to ensure those remedies were successful and further remedies are not necessary. A logical, tiered framework that encompasses all of the above (i.e., assessment through to post-remedy monitoring) is described. This framework was developed by the Canadian Government for use in Canada but has wider applications.
