This project seeks to overcome historical practices of dredged sediment management and increase frequency that island systems are restored or created. In doing so, this will offer increased opportunities to advance “triple win” outcomes (economic, social and environment benefits) derived from island restoration and/or creation opportunities. Ultimately, this research task will establish criteria and methods for evaluating long-term function, life- cycle costs, derived benefits and design alternatives for islands; leverage multi-agency interest and expertise to gain acceptance /value-added of island construction.
