Abstract

An investigation of benthic recovery on experimental plots of new work dredged material is currently underway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District (COE). The objective of this study is to determine the rate of recovery of benthic communities, in terms of both structure and function, following placement of stiff Pleistocene clay on open-bay bottoms in Galveston Bay.
