Even with that a big part of the problem is a diminished sediment load in the Mississippi due to dams in the tributaries. I saw a presentation from Harry Roberts that said we were gonna continue losing at a rapid rate even if we took extreme measures.
Eta: I remembered the number of dams is north of 38 thousand lol

Take out old river control structure and it goes into the Atchafalaya River and it would be navigable to the gulf immediately.
Baton Rrouge and New Orleans would be high and dry.

That makes sense. They would have to come up with some serious dam technology that allows sediment to go through?
