The main findings of two recent monitoring projects on the effects of dumping of harbour-dredged sediment and sand extraction on the macrozoobenthic communities of the Emilia-Romagna coastal area are discussed. In the first case, no significant effects were observed; in the second case, the recovery of benthic communities after defaunation was achieved 30 months after the operations. Biotic and abiotic environmental characteristics and precautionary measures contributed to reduce the medium-long term effects of dumping of dredged sediments and sand extraction on benthic ecosystem
