"Approximately 40 percent of dredged material generated from coastal dredging activities is placed into diked dredged material containment areas or DMCA. Because suitable sites are often difficult and expensive to acquire, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local dredging sponsors have an ongoing interest in programs that may help in making real estate available for DMCA construction. The adaptation of diked disposal areas for aquaculture is especially interesting because DMCA's and aquaculture ponds share many characteristics​, including perimeter dikes, structures to regulate water levels, construction on impervious soils, and many similar permit requirements. This publication provides guidelines for evaluating and selecting sites and for designing and constructing sites for the uses of dredged material disposal and aquaculture. Also included are examples of potential species for new operations"--National Sea Grant Library publication website.

Low-lying countries, such as the Netherlands, are strongly dependent on good and safe sea defences. In the past, the design of dikes and revetments was mostly based on vague experience, rather than on general valid calculation methods. The demand for reliable design methods for protective structures has, in the Netherlands, resulted in increased research in this field. These contributions have been prepared by Dutch experts participating in the study groups of the Technical Advisory Committee on Water Defences. The book opens with an outline of general strategy and methodology on sea defences, illustrated in the following chapters by technical information on specific items and Dutch experience, and it ends with more general aspects such as probabilistic approach, integral (multifunctional) design, management & safety assessment. Together, these chapters provide an almost complete technical overview of the items needed for the design and maintenance of dikes and revetments. The enclosed CRESS-program allows for an initial estimation of hydraulic loads and preliminary design.
