still cheaper than dredging.


False. It’s approximately $50,000/acre to dredge. Do the math.

you are cherry picking dredging numbers to pick up dirt right here and putting it right over there. not transporting it long distances like what has to happen for most areas in the marsh.

Well, the math states that dredging is quantified by cubic yard, not area. You also are not elaborating on what sort of dredging method are you using? Hydraulic or mechanical? Not to mention a myriad of other factors.
