I don't necessarily disagree with you but there's literally hundreds of thousands of acres of land around the country that is private but taxpayer money was used to improve or enhance.



You are right but it's unlikely you will find any of those projects that specifically exclude the public from it's use. At least none that I could find. You may know something I don't.

Either way, we just gated our canal so we don't have to worry about people breaking the law on their own personal beliefs.

Take any conservation program. ACEP, for example. Federal tax dollars improving/enhancing/conserving (whatever you want to call it) and there surely is no public access to these lands unless it's done on land that was already public (i.e. NWR/WMA).

I'm not saying I agree with it, but spending tax dollars on private land is surely not unique to Louisiana' coastal restoration efforts.
