Project Information

This project will advance the state of the practice for manmade oyster reefs through the improvement of computational modeling tools that can simulate the complex physical and ecological dynamics of these features. The new modeling tools will help USACE design and evaluate proposed reef projects, quantify their multiple benefits, and anticipate the performance and evolution of reefs under future environmental conditions.
