re: Gating canals in houma area

Those that are in the fence of if we need diversions should do the following.

Go the Delta Marina in Empire and launch your boat. Headed west and run all around that area until lunch. Head back to the marina, lock through and into the Mississippi river. Cross the river and run around the marsh on that side.
Head back after taking mental notes at what the difference was in the two sides of the river looked like. One has influence from the river, one does not and it shows. It's very drastic.
