What is your opinion on sediment diversions off the MS river?

No clue man, I really don't know enough about the diversion projects to have any kind of informed opinion. My buddy says we need more and that's his area of expertise so I'm inclined to believe him. We can look to the Atchafalaya and the growth in Wax Lake to give us an idea of what diversions could achieve.

What I do know is it pisses off the oystermen and as a general rule I don't mess around with Croatians on account of their giant hands and ability to strangle me to death.

In a perfect world, I would knock down the levees south of the sea wall on hwy 23 and be done with it.

Those that are in the fence of if we need diversions should do the following.

Go the Delta Marina in Empire and launch your boat. Headed west and run all around that area until lunch. Head back to the marina, lock through and into the Mississippi river. Cross the river and run around the marsh on that side.
Head back after taking mental notes at what the difference was in the two sides of the river looked like. One has influence from the river, one does not and it shows. It's very drastic.
