Exactly. People keep citing other states laws. No one has the oilfield in their wetlands the way LA does

While the sheer number of canals may be different, look no further than our neighbor to the East of the Pearl River. Whether it's 1 million or 1 thousand, the concept is the same, but you won't see posted signs on canals in Mississippi's tidelands.

I fished a lot of private marsh (no no trespassing signs) and would hate to lose it all. But fact is, these are private

I guess that part of the point. Of the millions of acres of marsh that make Louisiana what it is, only a very small portion is in fact navigable by Louisiana law. The "fact" needs to be discussed and potentially altered, because as it reads today we are all trespassers when we leave a coastal marina by boat. That's a fact I don't like living with.
