  • A Review of Habitat Modeling Methods That Can Advance Our Ability to Estimate the Ecological Cobenefits of Dredge Material Placement

    Abstract: Beneficial use of dredged material (BUDM) has been a placement strategy within the USACE for over 35 years, with applications that aim to reduce navigation costs, increase flood protection, and generate ecological benefits. However, the tools and approaches used for estimating ecological benefits are often limited in comparison with those available to evaluate costs and more traditional economic benefits when moving and placing dredged material. There are statistical and mechanistic models that can aid in quantifying habitat benefits within the context of BUDM projects, but there is currently no USACE-approved process that facilitates the integration of these modeling approaches. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive review of existing habitat-centric statistical and mechanistic models that may aide the USACE in identifying models most appropriate for quantifying potential ecological benefits and trade-offs at placement sites.
