re: Wildlife and Fisheries and Ducks Unlimited have destroyed Rollover Bayou

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.
