all of your assumptions.


Specifically, please.

man is causing the erosion.

well you can say that man did help it, but that was in the 30s-40s-50s when land owners sold the rights to drill all through the marsh and the oil companies left the canals. I cant hate on that as my Grand father was the chief engineer for all of south Louisiana for a certain company.

I'm saying that the levee isn't slowing down any erosion south of it.
the levee isnt there to prevent erosion. It is to protect against storm surge.

In fact, it will be expediting erosion because the tide can't flow as naturally as it did before.
it really isnt. but subsidence is happening and there still isnt any major sediment deposition. Thats what needs to happen. The Diversion projects are a start.. but they are the answer.

Id love to talk to you about this. lets go fishing.
