what am I wrong about?
all of your assumptions.

My proof is my experience down there. The water is significantly higher for miles south of the levee. the incoming tide water has nowhere to go. If the water is higher, more marsh will be lost. I do not see any marsh building projects below the levee. Mark my word, the land loss south of the levee will be greater than if there were no levee.

and 3 500 year storms have hit mexico in the past 10 years... doesnt mean that is the new norm. and im not saying the new hurricane protection system isnt effecting certain areas but not to the extend that it is gonna vanish one day from erosion.

yeah maybe so. I'm perusing the CPRA site and there is enough information to get lost in for months
ive been doing it for years.

All I can tell you is that very few people in our fishing camp community on four point saw any of this coming. It was like one day they started building a levee.
well this either because the community is blind or deaf or people arent taking self blame because there have been public meeting for these.

Wut? It is already vanishing. but you knew this because you read it all. I'm saying that the levee isn't slowing down any erosion south of it. In fact, it will be expediting erosion because the tide can't flow as naturally as it did before.

Maybe because we don't live there, we just were not aware. It is certainly plausible that a community where owners do not live permanently are not aware as they live elsewhere.

It's as if you're cool with some people being shite on to save others. I understand the "greater good" argument, but do you have no empathy for anyone affected by it. I suspect even if we were present for the public meeting, it would have still turned out this way.
