Divert the Entire river east and west at Myrtle Grove. Dig a narrow deep shipping lane on one side, or both with no levees. Continuously dredge( they already do this in the Mississippi). Below this point will slowly vanish, but its for the greater good of the state.

Use the dredges that are running now and pump every single bit of sediment over the levees. Especially to the east of the river. Build a huge diversion canal just south of Belle Chasse on the west side. Build rock islands where the old barriers islands were 150 years ago. Let everything fill in.
