its a mix of both, flying over the marsh you can see it. any straight line is from an oil company. Nature does not make straight lines, the canals allowed saltwater to flow at higher velocities.

however if the MS river wouldnt have levees, there wouldnt be any problem

Yeah, not sure what their case will be. "We are the #1 cause of wetland loss, but they are second. They need to pay for restoration."

and it's not just the Louisiana levees. Many upper portions of the river have concrete levees which cause a significant reduction in sediment flowing down the river to begin with.

Sure the oil companies cut up our coast, but we let them.
