• Description:
  Major concerns associated with new dredged-material disposal sites, especially when creating islands, are the effects of such activities on aquatic biological communities. Therefore, in 1991, the COE contracted the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to assess the aquatic biological communities just north of Rice Island. The NMFS was also asked to continue monitoring the biological communities at Miller Sands, an island-spit complex created with dredged material, to add to the long-term data base for this area. Biological sampling was conducted at Miller Sands in 1975-1977 (McConnell et al. 1978) and in 1988-1989 (Hinton et al. 1990).
