Abstract
This paper addresses the successful negotiations, site parameter identification, and implementation of a habitat feature using rocky materials from the outer channel dredging originally slated for disposal at LA-2. The specifics include documentation of the commercial navigational concerns, fishery resources, contractor capabilities, and the ability to measure the project progress. The ultimate project completion resulted in a guide for future rocky habitat creation.
