re: Planned freshwater diversions will doom LA salt fishing

First I say DO No Harm.
I am leaning toward the "Dredge don't Divert" if anything is to be done. Spoil from dredging can build strategic land ridges to buffer storm surge and contain salt marshland.
Facts that I read from the reports I directed you to indicate that land loss in Caenarvon is greater area that all deltas built by all freshwater diversions.

dredging is very, very expensive. We should not waste spoil, but you don't just drive around in a dredge gathering up sediment. You are digging out a channel, which can actually accelerate coastal erosion.... Not to say that dredging is bad, but dredging alone is not the solution.

I've read more than enough studies showing dredging barely keeps up with the losses. And costs a ton.
As people of LA we have thrived due to channeling the Mississippi. Now we are feeling the impact. We are going to have to sacrifice somewhere.

and that has nothing to do with storms?

You obviously don't know how much dredging cost.

please link this, I've studied Caernarvon pretty extensively from a historic prospective (pre-1950) and would like to know more about the current situation.
