Western Dredging Association

WEDA is one of three regional associations that together form the World Organization of Dredging Associations (WODA), alongside the Central Dredging Association (CEDA, covering most of Europe, Africa and the Mid and Near East) and the Eastern Dredging Association (EADA, Far East and Pacific). The three have equal representation on the WODA Board of Directors and share common goals while operating independently.

As a non-profit, WEDA relies on its sustaining (corporate) members for funding. It has regional chapters including Gulf Coast, Pacific, Eastern, Midwest and Central America, holds an MOU with the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and supports younger professionals through Young WEDA, open to members aged 35 and under across the western hemisphere.
