Abstract: Coastal wetlands provide a suite of valuable ecosystem services, but they are rapidly disappearing due to reductions in sediment supply and rising sea levels, making them ideal candidates for restoration through beneficial use of dredged sediment. Because sediment dredged from navigation channels is a limited resource relative to the number of degraded wetlands, a framework has been developed to align coastal restoration sediment needs with dredging requirements to maximize social, environmental, and flood risk reduction benefits while also completing the navigation mission. The framework is comprised of four key steps: (1) geographic scoping and suitability considerations, (2) quantification of the dredged sediment available and restoration project sediment needs, (3) definition of cost and benefit objectives, and (4) optimization of costs and benefits to determine the most efficient solutions. This report is a demonstration of this framework on a subset of wetland sites and local federal navigation channels in San Pablo Bay, California.
