"This publication is one in a series of reviews of the use of the dredged material containment areas for aquaculture. This handbook is a useful overview of a demonstration project's results; site selection, design and construction; project planning and design; economics and business planning; and legal considerations. It will be of interest to aquaculturists, landowners, coastal zone planners, and other potential users of the containment area aquaculture concept"--National Sea Grant Library publication website.

The view that active dredged material containment areas (DMCA) are unproductive, commercially unusable, and incompatible with local needs can be challenged by demonstrating that there are situations where dredged material and DMCA's can be used to create positive benefits. One example would be a profitable and biologically productive use of disposal acreage for aquaculture. A 2 day workshop on aquaculture in DMCA's held in Galveston, Tex., in September 1982 attended by representatives from the Corps, other Federal and State agencies, private industry, and academia, examined issues affecting the technical, economic, and practical use of DMCA's for aquaculture ...

"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.

This report is inteded to provide an overview of the considerable knowledge and experience that has been developed worldwide in the design, construction, and operations planning of pond-based aquaculture systems Because this is a complex subject and requirements for specific situations are highly variable, only generalized, conservative views will be presented. The review is not intended for experts or those experienced in aquaculture pond design and construction. it is intended primarily as an information resource for those involved in aquaculture development.

"The lack of suitable sites often creates a problem for the coastal aquaculturist. One solution is to build ponds that can be used in the aquaculture operation for raising fish or other species and can also be used by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for placing material dredged from waterways. This publication gives a clear outline of issues to consider before jumping into the aquaculture business in general and the construction of ponds for dredged material containment and aquaculture in particular. This guide dispels some aquaculture myths, details investment and operating costs to expect, gives an overview of pond design and construction, provides a brief look at requirements of various species and provides a checklist to help in the decision about establishing an aquaculture operation"--National Sea Grant Library publication website
