re: Planned freshwater diversions will doom LA salt fishing

I will agree with you on one point Deege, diversions alone are worthless.

If the diversion has no sediment load then it will not work as intended/hoped.

If there is a sediment load then it will work beautifully.

As stated above the entire goal of the new diversions is to capture sediment and water in order to reduce the amount of dredging which is very expensive. It's a great example of the "work smarter not harder" philosophy.

Although it may have seemed otherwise in the previous thread, this is my sentiment. I'm not against the diversions, but am against ONLY the diversions. Caenarvon without sediment has failed to create any land.

Those who say it's because of storms need to consider storm surges could be worse BECAUSE of the loss of land. Isaac was a CAT 1, barely. It devastated St. Bernard and other areas with surge, and this didn't happen with similar storms in the not so distant past.
