Summary
Herein we develop recommendations for a guideline for sedimentation in estuaries, which we define as the thickness of sediment accumulation over a given period of time. We recognise that there will typically be episodes of deposition and scouring within any given time period, and that accumulation on any time scale is the net result of particles arriving and leaving the seabed.
