Sediment Rate, Siltation, Bathymetric Data, Dar es Salaam Harbour, DredgingAbstract
The marine environment in Tanzania faces significant pollution originating mainly from land-based sources such as industrial, agricultural, and municipal waste, as well as coastal construction, oil discharges, and dredging activities. Siltation, a significant problem in the Dar es Salaam harbor, has led to a decrease in the depth of the entrance channel, requiring more frequent dredging.
