Be careful. Just because someone is spending money near the coast does not mean that they are "protecting what we have." What I see is that there is a strong effort in Southwest Louisiana to eliminate or shrink the coastal marsh to make more land available for cattle and duck ponds. That is not "preserving" what we have, it is changing the coastal environment to suit a commercial desire
Its not YOUR resource. You have no exclusive rights to it. As such, things happen that may not be in your individual interest, but are for the better overall. Yes, the waterway will be impacted for the near-term. But why don't you let them finish and see how things go, before you declare DU/LDWF dick heads serving only the well organized.
Or you could always get your own organization together and have a say so in what is done.
Nah, easier just to bitch about things.

Easier to bitch. Right. How's "management" been for Miller Bayou, Big Constance Bayou, Bayou Pigeon and Dyson Bayou? That's right. The "management" to clear the marsh for ducks by the choking use of the weirs and dams has killed all of these waterways over the last 20 years.
Just to test your familiarity, what is every duck lease holder in that part of the state doing right now? Any idea? They are spraying their leases with herbicides to create clear water to attract ducks to land. Guess what that does to the coastal marsh. Go ahead, tell the people what that does.
How are the weirs used to manage the water level in the winters? They are used to keep the fresh water in the marsh unnaturally high. Why? To make landing areas on duck leases. Want to guess what that does to the saltwater marsh grasses? The ones not completely wiped out by the herbicides?
Sure, White Lake is a treasure. Antonin Sclaia and Dick Cheney hunt there. Leases are worth a fortune if well marketed. That money grab is spreading south of the highway. We need a Lorax for the health of the coastal marsh cause they are intentionally killing it, and the estuary and hatchery right along with it.
