The process is called dredging, and is done with with cranes and large pumps.
A silt trap is a designated area where water that is contaminated with suspended sediment as a result of construction activity or water runoff is contained. While the water is in a silt trap, the sediment can settle to the bottom of the trap until it can be removed.
Because the breakwater disturbs the natural current of the water and flow of silt and debris on the seafloor. A buildup of sand and silt occurs behind the breakwater because of this, and it needs to be removed, lest it get in the way of the boats.
Rivers carry tons of silt to the sea. After the flood the road were covered in silt.
There may be gold dust in that silt. Quicksand is not quite the same as silt. Please sweep the silt from the gutter.

My alluvial island is formed primarily from silt. The barrier of silt is being washed away from the delta!
Silt is carried downriver on the fast currents until it reaches the slow to nonmoving waters, where the silt forms a delta, which collects more silt.
