Abstract (en)

A method to cover a wreck (1) on a bottom surface (3) of a bottom of a water area by using bottom sediment from the bottom, the method comprises to: mix the bottom sediment with water from the water area to achieve a cavity (5) in the bottom. The cavity (5) permits that a landslide of the bottom sediment under and/or around the wreck (1) is achieved, which causes the bottom sediment under and/or around the wreck (1) to move down into the cavity (5), wherein a distance (d) between at least one point (p) on the surface of the wreck (1) and the bottom surface (3) is changed when the bottom sediment under and/or around the wreck has moved down into the cavity (5). While and after the bottom sediment under and/or around the wreck has moved down into the cavity (5), the wreck (1) is covered with at least the bottom sediment that has been mixed. An arrangement (9) adapted for mixing a bottom sediment of a bottom of a water area with water from the water area to achieve a cavity (5) in the bottom is also described.
