I would think that trying to move a large body of water in ways it does not want to be moved would have a much larger effect.

Larger, yes.

But to say they did not have a major effect is plain wrong IMO

no doubt. i think O&G companies are only fractionally to blame. i dont think anyone, including the legal proceedings claimed they were solely to blame.

to be honest, i really dont have an opinion on the lawsuit. i think it was a bit misguided, would have created legal nightmares and opened way more cans of worms than anticipated, but i also think the o&g companies have largely been held unaccountable for the changes (in whatever amount) they have caused.

to give an example of why the lawsuit was misguided and not well thought out:

currently, when the state wants to restore some area of marsh or a barrier island, chances are an oil company owns it. the oil companies, up to this point in history, have always been very accommodating to restoration efforts on their property (free right of access, right of ways, no legal hurdles for land rights etc.). should this suit have gone through, restoration would have gotten exponentially more expensive overnight because every project on private o&g land would be paying out the arse for land rights or to forcefully acquire access because every oil company would have gone and told the state CPRA to frick themselves in retaliation for the suit.
