Portfolio Framework to Quantify Beneficial Use of Dredged Material (New Orleans, LA and New England)

Project Information

This EWN Action Project is currently developing a quantitative portfolio approach based on the potential beneficial uses of dredged material in a single season of dredging. Developing a portfolio requires additional research into resulting benefits, including the amount of enhancement as a function of the material properties and the benefits achieved from the project. These benefits are not easily monetized, but the portfolio will provide information that could be used for economic valuation.
