Would the LA Gulf Coast be more beautiful is the MS River ended elsewhere?

Let's say all of the muddy + silty water didn't flow down to LA & I to the Gulf of Mexico.
Would the Sportsman's Paradise coast line of LA resemble that of FL thus providing a better overall fishing + vacationing experience?
Would terrible trash (physical + human) still plague LA roads & waterways?
Would a higher caliber population of bikini clad females inhabit LA like that of a Miami+Tampa/St. Pete/etc. lucky FL?

I’d much rather fish out of Venice than out of say, Destin. Louisiana may have some of the best offshore fishing grounds in the world. This is sort of a weird hypothetical but, Grand Isle would probably be a lot like Pensacola.

The mouth of the Mississippi has been as far east as Biloxi and as far west as Galveston. Between Bunkie and Opelousas on I 49 you cross a little valley that used to be the Mississippi river bed.

South Louisiana is a delta essentially. We owe our fertile soils to the floodplain. Our landscape, our culture, our food, our very identity is tied into old man river.
Might as well ask what Colorado would be like without the Rockies

Expected something more poetic that that from you tbh

The La gulf coast (including Grand Isle) wouldn’t exist in its current location if the river didn’t exist. South LA was built by the river. The coast would probably be at the latitude of Mandeville if the river didn’t exist.

We don’t have the mineral deposits necessary to make those nice big white, or even tan, sand beaches.

Not a chance. It would probably look like the Midwest

The eastern half of Colorado is exactly like Kansas

The south is rampant with the trashiest people in the country. It is evident by LA, AL, MS, and AR ranking last in every positive poll out there. The gulf coast is nearby so regardless of what it looks like, it will always be dominated with trashy people.
The sad thing is LA owns one of the most fertile, profitable pieces of land in the country and doesn’t make shite from it outside of a handful of local politicians.

This is true. Louisiana fishing is far superior to Florida. The difference is ridiculous.

If you are asking if the sediments flowing down The Mississippi are responsible for how the LA and TX coasts are the answer is yes.
Even if the GOM current flowed clockwise instead of counter clockwise the beaches would be different.
I do think though that the bayou’s and flooding that used to go through them muddied up the LA coast as well as the Mississippi River sediment.

2 times last year in Galveston the water cleared up like destin.. you could see your feet in 4 ft of water. The wind and tide aligned just right to push the sediment from the Mississippi river away from the coast.. the river is the main reason why texas doesn't have pretty beaches.. the farther south you go the better the water.

Yes but you wouldn’t be dishing out of Venice, you’d be fishing out of Baton Rouge.
