Session B
Estuarine Design and Research Needs: Navigation Channels, Estuarine Vegetation, Placement of Dredged Sediments, and Long-term Estuary Evolution

Cost: $250 (limit 90 attendees)

Session B is focused on estuaries and estuarine vegetation, use of dredged sediment to reduce long-term O&M costs of maintaining navigation channels, and experiences with successful design of estuarine projects. This workshop has been structured as an interactive discussion, information exchange, and brainstorming opportunity. Through a range of presentations from the Corps, academia, and private industry, Session B will summarize what we know about estuary and wetland processes, discuss successful design of wetland projects and lessons learned through monitoring, and identify gaps in knowledge, monitoring, and predictive modeling. Session B was initiated through collaboration with the USACE's New York District and the Environmental Laboratory at ERDC.
