You work or gov agency or private consultant? Does Plaquemines parish really have the necessary money to Do anything other than try to ring it with rocks?

For a coastal lesson on why rocks don't always work in LA, get on google earth and look at Time lapsed photos of Wine Island in Terrebonne in Google earth from 2004ish-2012. The island migrated out of the ring of rocks! Also,rocks were a disaster at East Timbalier, now you have a ton of submerged hazards and not Much island remaining to show for It.

Plaquemines should dredge and fill to inclease the acreage and get a little more bang for the buck.

I personally was just doing grunt work for a professor at LSU, drove the boat and helped build boardwalks into the marsh to sample soil and marsh plants.

But Cat Island is pretty much just made up of shell hash now, but personally they need to add in some kind of wave break with possibly rocks and then dredge up sand to rebuild the island itself.
