You post as if the canals were built solely to destroy the marsh
We have reached a point in the conversation where you're too wrapped up in disagreeing for it to be productive.
Of course I don't think that they built the canals so they could destroy the marsh. However, they built them knowing risks. The risks were accepted because the reward was great at the time. It was near sighted.
The problem is the restoration costs can't be absorbed by the land owners and the state. So the tax payers are left holding the bag while the private owners who profited from the damage are long gone. So now we are gating off canals in an effort to protect property rights but at what cost? If we continue to gate and post tidal marsh we will shrink the area accessible by the public. Less access turns into less participation, which turns into less licenses being sold, and so on and so fourth.
