Conclusions Dredged material can be a resource Tampa Bay
• • • •
Place material on beaches Use dredged material beneficially Manage aggressively existing upland areas Share placement areas
Egmont Egmont Key Key
Harbor Harbor Isles Isles Lake Lake
Recommendations • Additional study • Data collection Tampa Bay
• Computer model • Analysis • Beneficial use investigation
• Commercial applications • Habitat restoration
• Environmental inventory • Economics • Regulations • Regional Sediment Management
Resource Management Community Needs
Recommendations
Tampa Bay
Resource Management Community Needs 52 habitat restoration sites / fill material
Dredge Hole Assessment Project
General Community Needs Additional space for dredged material
