1 Sediment and society: Initiating and motivating stakeholder involvement in sediment remediation in Bergen Harbour Amy M.P. Oen, Udaya Sekhar Nagothu, David Barton, Magnus Sparrevik, Mike Duijn, Adriaan Slob, Jens Skei and Gijs Breedveld NORDROCS Conference September 15 h 16 th, 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark

2 Could the selection of a sediment remediation alternative arouse strong opposition in Bergen Harbour? Fjellanger Widerøe AS

3 Could the selection of a sediment remediation alternative arouse strong opposition in Bergen Harbour?

4 Initiating involvement - Identification Stakeholder panel Classic exercise of stakeholder analysis 100 potential participants identified 23 invited 16 agreed to participate Citizen panel Market research company engaged to identify and invite 30 citizens participated

5 Motivating stakeholders - Purpose Multi-criteria-analysis (MCA) Formal approach to prioritize alternatives Weighting criteria to assess consequences Three consecutive meetings Presentations from invited experts Individual preferences quantified Group exercise to reach consensus

10 Intuituve ranking (5 is best) Intuitive ranking of alternatives Stakeholders Citizen Panel 1 0 No remediation Capping Capping and dredging w/ nearshore disposal Remediation alternative Capping and dredging w/ local disposal facility Capping and dredging w/ national disposal facility

11 Criteria for assessing the consequences Reduction in spreading of contaminants Environmental and health Maximum tolerable health dosage exceedance CO 2 discharges Spatial influence during remediation Sediment remediation Societal Disposal site location Marine archeological excavations Property development Total direct costs Economic Percent of costs paid by municipality Municipal tax earmarked for sediment remediation

12 Weighting indicator 1,0 Ranking based on MCA approach Environ Society Economy Stakeholder 1 0,5 Stakeholder 2 Citizen Panel group 1 0,0 No remediation Capping Capping and dredging w/ nearshore disposal Remediation alternative Capping and dredging w/ local disposal facility Capping and dredging w/ national disposal facility

13 Assessment of the participation Stakeholder panel Good considering meetings occurred during Avian flu season Desire to continue after the MCA exercise Seeking legitimacy beyond involvement in a research project Citizen panel Received gift card after each meeting Excepted 30% less involvement after each meeting, but only 7% over all three meetings indicating that there was genuine interest Reached consensus and presented results to Bergen municipality

14 Benefits of engaging a citizen panel Representativeness Representative for the types of questions that can arise Can be useful to assess the need for information and to identify potential conflicts Knowledge Less scientific knowledge of sediments at first meeting Learned more over the course of three meetings Asked just as relevant questions as Stakeholder panel Citizen panel versus Stakeholder panel Depends on the objective of sediment remediation Is remediation driven by special interests or societal values?
