The diversions will build land at a glacial pace compared to dredging and pumping.


Correct, dredging and pumping is a much quicker solution to rebuilding land. The new areas need to wrapped in rocks in order to prevent any further erosion.

East Timbalier Island was wrapped in rocks. You can’t find any evidence today that there was ever an island there.

The commercials and oyster fishermen, don’t give a fig about land loss. They can’t see past a few weeks in front of them. Reminds me of the statement one of the commercial fishermen in New England made in response to tightening regulations on ground fish. He said he hoped he caught the last cod left in the ocean.
