Scaremongers seem to forget the MS ran freely down the Atchafalaya for 150 years before the ORCS was put in place and the port of NO was the nations largest during this period.

do you compare some small steam boats that draft a few feet to the ships that draft 50+ feet?


While i agree it wouldnt put PoNO and PoBR and such out of commission and it would silt in like. It would actually be easy to dredge it once and would give years of life before it were to silt in again since all that sediment is going down the Atchafalaya.
