Keith Kroeger to Address the Topic of Seafood Processors, Fish Waste Disposal, and Water Quality

Keith Kroeger will present the poster, “Seafood Processor: Ocean Dumping and Compliance Monitoring,” at the Fall Meeting of the Pacific Chapter of the Western Dredging Association (WEDA).

The meeting will take place from October 21 through 23, 2025, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Keith is a Principal Aquatic Toxicologist based in Oregon with more than 25 years of experience focused on characterization, permitting, design, and implementation of dredging projects for contaminated sediment sites. He often addresses ecological issues involving industrial waterways, leading sediment, water-quality, and ecological studies to evaluate the nature and extent of contamination.

His poster will discuss the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA), which regulates the transportation and dumping of materials into ocean waters. It will also include anecdotes from recent work that he and the Geosyntec team performed for a seafood processor to protect water quality and marine life.

WEDA is a technical professional organization devoted to the exchange of knowledge in fields related to dredging, navigation, marine engineering, and construction. The Pacific Chapter of WEDA represents the West Coast of the United States, as well as parts of Canada.
