so do they re seed the areas that were ruined or should we run the diversion projects at full power to reclaim wetlands.

I know they wont do this in the lake, but it seems like the way to make the best of a bad situation in the other ones if it applies.

Oyster beds have been extremely political for a long time. They have cost citizens of this state in the forms of coastal erosion, huge court payments, etc. I don't see why anyone would be so sympathetic for people leasing public lands for $2 an acre and raising a private crop.
