Collect baseline data, develop a guidance manual, and provide preliminary design plans that facilitate salt marsh lateral expansion, enable dredged sediments to be applied to adjacent salt marshes, and augment salt marsh accretion. Project will engage multiple stakeholders in the design of an innovative approach focused on using thin-layer placement of dredged sediments from the Intracoastal Waterway to enhance the resilience of adjacent salt marshes and community infrastructure.
