Like global warming, I wonder how much is man made and how much is normal nature progression. Thoughts?
It is both. The current levee systems decreases the sediment load in the river. This prevents the river from depositing enough sediments to replace what is naturally lost.
Also, the river tried to change course and push on through the Atchafalaya. The Army Core stopped this many years ago. This has further contributed to these problems.
It isn't exactly debated on why we are losing wetlands in Louisiana.
