The Dredging 101 Course is being offered by WEDA as part of our mission to share knowledge and information about dredging. Because WEDA is a non-profit organization, with its goal not to make money but to share information, WEDA is offering this course at the very low cost of $50. The course will occur at the Hyatt Regency Green Bay on Tuesday March 24, 2020 from 1:00-5:00 pm. You can either add this course to your meeting registration or register ONLY for the 101 Course. Click here to register for the meeting and/or the Dredging 101 course separately.
