Italy is a country where multiple activities are located along the coast. Those activities make the handling of marine sediments a topic of particular interest with high relevance from the socio-economic point of view (sednet.org). In this paper the sediment characterization of the Favignana Harbour (Egadi Archipelago) is presented by describing the site-specific conceptual model of contamination and by referring the results of analytical tests carried out on superficial sediment samples. Low level of contamination was found but a potential source of contamination was relocated and an innovative management option was implemented by using sediment to facilitate tourism through creation of sport facilities on shore.

Abstract
Italy is a country where multiple activities are located along the coast. Those activities make the handling of marine sediments a topic of particular interest with high relevance from the socio-economic point of view (sednet.org). In this paper the sediment characterization of the Favignana Harbour (Egadi Archipelago) is presented by describing the site-specific conceptual model of contamination and by referring the results of analytical tests carried out on superficial sediment samples. Low level of contamination was found but a potential source of contamination was relocated and an innovative management option was implemented by using sediment to facilitate tourism through creation of sport facilities on shore.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
