re: Morganza to the Gulf project

you are correct that levees have affected water levels to a certain degree. The most significant issue affecting water levels is lack of marsh, this is causing the necessity of the levees. I also would love to protect our ecosystem but I'm afraid that is too far gone at this point and you have to draw a line somewhere or I'll have beach front property in Thibodaux.

As far as closing locks, I don't know. I guess we'll be learning about that before too much longer when the one on Falgout Canal is completed. I have heard that there is an app that is supposed to give 8 hours notice before closure, not saying thats a fact though.
