This report is a portion of a larger investigation addressing current and historical sediment loads in the Mississippi River. In this report, we address four primary tasks: 1) quantify sediment discharges from the Mississippi River at existing diversions; 2) assemble estimates of sediment quantiles and sediment sizes available for diversions planned to promote coastal marsh restoration; 3) develop estimates of sediment loads required for restorations and estimates of uncertainty; and 4) identify seasonal timing for diverting sediment from the river for marsh and wetland restoration.
