re: Looks like Landry is going to tank the mid-Barataria diversion.

Correct. Targeted diversions are currently the next best option to “letting nature do its thing”.
Of course there is no actual “total” solution as long as the river is bottled up along its entire length.

The state needs to focus on manual land building. They're doing that on other parts of the coast and it works very well. The amount of land created for the cost and time scale is hilariously small.

Agree. But I believe there needs to be a dedicated dredge in the inlet to feed the diversion so it doesn’t have to run as much as currently planned. I also believe there should be controlled outfall in the Barataria Basin. They should build ridges to slow the water to build land quicker similar to West Bay. I also think they need to channelize the fresh water for a quicker route to the Gulf.
The problem the State faces is that they unnecessarily overstated the benefits of the project while understating the impacts. It’s going to come back to bite them … but it won’t kill the project. There will be a compromise on the operation which is the logical and sensible.
