Book Description
A 2-day workshop on aquaculture in DMCAs held in Galveston, Tex., in September 1982 and attended by representatives from the Corps, other Federal and State agencies, private industry, and academia, examined issues affecting the technical, legal, economic, and practical use of DMCAs for aquaculture. The concensus among the workshop participants was that aquaculture as a secondary use of DMCAs would be both profitable and desirable. Field demonstration projects under various field conditions and research directed toward specific problem areas including contaminated sediments and site-specific limiting physical and chemical features were recommended as logical courses of action before applying the concept of DMCA aquaculture. The successful conduct and documentation of field demonstration projects were viewed as essential activities to respond to concerns about unreasonable risks caused by incompatibility of DMCA physical, chemical, and operation conditions with aquaculture.

Book Description
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 ...

Book Description
High land and construction costs hinder development of pond-based aquaculture in the United States. A partnership with navigation interests may reduce these constraints. The dredged material containment areas (DMCAs) operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are structurally similar to aquaculture ponds and typically are used only once every 3 to 10 years. With the Corps and navigational interests contributing to dike construction and land acquisition, the costs of aquaculture may be reduced while providing the Corps with the additional disposal areas needed to maintain our nation's waterways. The feasibility of DMCA aquaculture was examined under the Containment Area Aquaculture Program (CAAP), which was sponsored by the Operations, Construction, and Readiness Division, Directorate of Civil Works, Headquarters, US Army Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with the Construction-Operations Division of the U.S. Army Engineers Galveston District. The feasibility of DMCA aquaculture was demonstrated in 42 and 47 ha DMCAs near Brownsville, TX. Pumps, filters, and drainage structures were added to these DMCAs to accommodate aquaculture operations and a 1.6-ha nursery pond was constructed.
