Implementing Engineering With Nature within the Corps: A Workshop

Abstract

This document summarizes the major findings of a workshop entitled Engineering With Nature: Designing Navigation Infrastructure for Greater Environmental Sustainability 1 held September 7-8, 2011, in Charleston, South Carolina. The goal of the workshop was to identify opportunities to advance science, engineering, and operational practice leading to expanded environmental benefits from navigation infrastructure and operations within the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This was accomplished through in-depth discussions of relevant experiences, issues, and lessons learned. The workshop was sponsored by the Dredging Operations Environmental Research (DOER) Program and served as a conduit for sharing technical presentations, networking, and generating outcomes that will support the DOER program.
