Description
Summary:Eight sites located in Corps of Engineers Districts (Baltimore, Detroit, Fort Worth, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Savannah) were examined upon District requests to the Dredging Operations Technical Support Program at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Miss. Habitat development feasibility and assessment were studied at estuarine sites in the Santa Ana River, Calif.; Trinity River, Tex.; Brunswick Harbor, Ga.; Smith Island, Md.; Tangier Island, Va.; and the Delaware River, Pa. Marsh restoration and habitat development were studied at freshwater sites on Bayou Dourcheat, La., and at Point Mouillee, Lake Erie, Mich. Development of salt marshes, fresh marshes and ponds, bottomland hardwoods, furbearer habitat, waterfowl habitat, and seabird habitat and island creation and management are discussed in detail for appropriate sites.
