and dredging marine aggregates for use in construction. The impacts of TSHDs have been extensively studied in European waters and elsewhere. The project's dredging partner has conducted over 200 dredging projects in Mexican waters over the past 20 years. During the extraction process and offshore processing, no chemicals are introduced into the ocean. Phosphate is extracted by mechanical means and only shells, oversized materials and fine sediment are returned to the seabed in a manner that creates structure, which studies have shown to enhance local fish populations.
