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.

Tell me you don’t understand what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you're talking about.
All of your myriad of factors will generally come back to around $50,000/acre of land for coastal restoration.

Hey genius, is dredging a measure of area or volume? It is not a blanket "$50k an acre". That's simplistic thinking. Are you talking hydraulic dredging or mechanical? Completely different costs.

Tell me you are an armchair quarterback here without telling me...

The $50,000/acre figure is industry standard for restoration of land within 5 miles of the river.

Check the link below. Lake Hermitage meets your parameters and it was over 115k/acre

Bucket dredge? Cutterhead? Inland? Offshore? River? How long are we transporting? Plus, have you looked at a bid tab or engineer's estimate for dredging lately? High as giraffe's ______. It is a gross generalization. From their own numbers, it is a lot higher
