There is not LAND. It's water. Everywhere else navigable water is common space, just not in the Louisiana marsh for some reason.


Never seemed to be even a question until about ten years ago.

Navigable water is common place in LA, it is determined by a map. No other places are losing land like we are so land owners have water where there was once land and access to the their property where there wasn't any.

Folks also think that as long as they can float it, they can hunt/fish it so if you own bature the Mississippi river comes up 10+ feet then folks are showing up on your property as though its public land. Happens to us on our property that is along another river. Flood control systems have changed the water level on properties as well without land owners getting any compensation in our state.

There are so many variables that go into this change because the fact of the matter is the law is written and its the "water is public" crowd are the ones wanting to take current ownership rights away without any compensation to land owners.

Unfortunately no one wants to hear this side, they just want to ra ra that all water is public while ignoring all the things that have impacted the land the last 100 years. The land leading to fourchon used have cattle, now it is a bay. This description is just a fraction of the kind of change that has occurred over the years.

A map from 1812 to be exact. I can promise you, if you've spent even small amounts of time in coastal waters of Louisiana you are technically a trespasser. We all are.

Not the same subject even though on the surface it appears to be.

It is and it isn't. Just depends upon who is speaking. I agree some should be treated differently, but then you have canals and it can't be said it's not the same subject.

His premise is flood stage waters based on his comments. Flood waters are not at question here, thus my opinion it's a separate subject.

Flood waters are not the reason for the Coalition. Gates across public waters are. No other state has this issue because they use common sense.

But yet they are. Some of the reported decisions are about flood waters.

The coalition has never challenged/asked for/or implied they seek access to areas deemed flooded, separate subject.

There are 1000's of decisions on public access across the country in the history of this overarching topic, but it does not mean each are relevant on this topic.

Have you ever fished Florida? I have on numerous occasions... their issues are very isolated and actually make sense by comparison. The boating activity is 10 fold what Louisiana has due to sheer population density, yet their issues are significantly less common.

Ok, but your statement remains wrong.

The LASC could definitely improve their PR, particularly on social media, but don't miss the forest for the trees.

Not sure why you would say this. I have not commented on them. I just thought the post was news worthy here.

It's about the duck hunters. I get it. If I were a duck hunter and had a lease, I wouldn't want random people access the property. I have a deer lease. I don't want people poaching my deer lease to rabbit hunt or turkey hunt.

Same scenario, regardless how you look at it.

This will be next to impossible to solve.
