Plus, have you looked at a bid tab or engineer's estimate for dredging lately?
Well, I have developed 10 formal bids for dredging projects in the past 6 months. Yes, they are high but it still doesn’t change the fact that it takes anywhere from 5,000-6,000 cubic yards to restore an average acre of marsh.

So that narrows you down to someone who works for either:
1) a private dredge contractor, who would stand to benefit most from redirected funds from diversions, or
2) MVN navigation ops, and the USACE is has proven they really know how to run a delta over the longterm
Maybe 50k/acre is a pure line item in a bid tab on $/CY basis, but once you add in all of the entirely necessary ancillary line items like the permitting and land rights and geotech and surveying it is never 50k/acre except in the smallest of projects
