Decimate the levees below Belle Chasse, and let the river run it's course to redistribute silt that is critical for wetlands and storm protection.


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.

While it would probably help with subsidence, there is no way that special interests would allow this to happen. Oyster leases already have been in conflict with much of the coastal restoration efforts. Plaquemines parish has long been known for its corruption and these kinds of traits don't just disappear.
