and Clarke 1998), SSFATE represents a significantly improved capability for dredging project

assessments. Dredging project managers and resource agency staff should be able to rapidly explore

the effects of model parameters on expectations of impacts, and to optimize their management

options, including environmental windows, based on SSFATE results.
