Well the geomorphology at Rockefeller vs the terrebonne basin going east are very different. Sure they can take out weir in big lake and other areas and let nature do its thing. But I can assure you over a generation the marshes will erode and open up and we will be left with a Baffin or Galveston bay. Take your pick buddy. Sorry you can't catch shrimp while a tarpon rodeo stripper that got tipped a cast net can catch 50lbs of 30ct or better shrimp from Elmer's beach during her 2 hours off the pole while watching her kids while you struggle at shrimp Mecca.

I'll have a double of whatever Capt ST is drinking.

I've said my peace.

Baffin


Baffin Bay is a negative estuary (evaporation exceeds freshwater inflow). Therefore, it is hypersaline with salinity higher than sea water. (There are also some water mixing stuff in play as well.) It gets flushed out with the rare huge rain event (i.e. tropical storms) in its watershed.

Basically an impossible situation in Louisiana with the rainfall totals and less tropical climate.

Why would you pick Texas bay systems anyway?

Nice to see some sane answers from other coastal folk.

Funny how everyone is for restoration until it happens, at which point they become experts and are against it.
