The Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL) is celebrating 20 years! This consortium is dedicated to collecting scientific technical reports to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access. Many of the reports are digitized and hosted by the UNT Libraries like the report highlighted in this post.

Week 2 - Technical Report Highlight - Use of Dredged Material Islands

Unintended Benefits from Dredging Shipping Channels

Technical reports hold surprising insights! For example, in disposing of the material dredged to maintain a navigable shipping channel in the Houston-Galveston area of Texas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created chains of islands.

The vegetation sprouting on some of these islands attracted a variety of seabird and wading bird colonies. The Corps of Engineers studied these islands and wrote this 1978 report detailing suggestions for the construction, maintenance, and management of these dredged-material islands as habitats for nesting seabirds and wading birds.
