Dredging is not a measure of anything bro. It’s an act of moving material from one place to another. Construction contracts use CY for measurements of material. In coastal restoration, the units are typically in $/acre. The $50,000/acre is utilized in the CPRA master plan modeling every year.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Dredging is measured by the cubic yard. Your assumption of "$50k/acre" means nothing if depth isn't considered. You add depth to area and you get....VOLUME. So, what depth is your $50k/acre based on? 5, 10, 20 feet? There is a big difference. So blatantly stating "per acre" is a poor measure for dredging and no contractor will quote you based on acreage if depth is not known.
Secondly, hydraulic dredging is more expensive than mechanical dredging but goes quicker, depending on the situation of the contract. The costs per cubic yard for each varies differently. Therefore, stating "$50k/acre" ignores depth of dredge, means of dredging, not to mention the myriad of indirect costs or setup costs depending on your area of construction, means of access, etc... It's not as simple as stating a blanket $/acre = the cost.
