As part of the Lagos Marina expansion project, the area will be dredged to allow the Marina to accomodate larger vessels, between 12 and 30 metres long, and seven floating walkways to be installed.
The process is expected to produce 38,000 m3 of dredged material, which will be deposited in the sea, around 6 nautical miles (approximately 11.1 kilometres) south of the mouth of that Algarve port.
The public consultation period for the license application, submitted by Marlagos, will run from the 23rd of this month to the 11th of October, for the use of an area of the national maritime space for the immersion of dredged material, according to a notice from the Directorate-General for Natural Resources, Safety and Maritime Services (DGRM).
Dredging will also be carried out to restore the bottom of the main channel of the Lagos Marina.
