A necessary evil that no politician will ever have the balls to do. Even if one got in that did have the balls he would fold under pressure before it got done. I guarantee it.

Honestly, it's probably the best thing to do.
Spend money on elevating everything instead of on beefing up more levees for a sliver of land.
Political suicide though.
But in the long run, the Gulf is gonna take it all back if we don't do something to let the river do its thing. The pipe in Caernarvon is a good start but there needs to be a lot more done.

I've fished out of Empire and Venice for a long time and many fine people live down that way. But as much as it pains me to say, this is the correct perspective, the wetlands loss around the river in the past three decades is decimating the entire South East Louisiana region.

This. All the money in the world is not going to be able to really protect this area if the wetlands continue to vanish. Have to draw a line in the sand somewhere and do what is right.

The navigation industry will never let it happen. It will take a catastrophic event that man cannot contain or correct...
