Yes simply by removing the forced diversion at the Old River Control Structure in Morganza. River would flow to the gulf via the basin.
Would that be navigable? Would it help slow down coastal erosion?

No. The basin in still controlled by levees. The issue is the flooding of multiple locations at multiple "mouths" that is not allowed which would normally drop sediment.
