Could bombing Louisiana's coast with seeds save it?

No, they can't drop real bombs on New Orleans or Baton Rouge

Can they just bomb half of each?

what if they bombed it with weed seeds?

Like kudzu?

Couldn’t possibly do any more damage

It’s been getting warm enough that Louisiana now has some mangroves taking hold.

Gonna be some big redfish in the Bay next year

Don't mangroves stop about half way up the florida peninsula?

Wouldn't our winters be a tad bit too cool for these to thrive??

Florida has true mangrove forests, or mangals, consisting of multiple species. Here in Louisiana, we only have black mangrove (Avicennia germinans).

In general, and in the past, our winters are/were too cold to support mangroves long term. There was a presence, but a good cold snap would kill them off. However, with warming temperatures that is changing. You can see, when driving down Highway 1 to Grand Isle, that mangroves are starting to establish themselves in greater numbers. The Texas coast is experiencing the same thing of increasing black mangroves, but neither Texas or Louisiana have the true mangrove forest consisting of red, white, and black mangroves.



Edit to add:
Our still cooler winters compared to other areas is probably the reason why the mangroves we do have aren't all that tall. Black mangroves apparently can grow to tree sized, but the ones I've seen in Louisiana are still bush/shrub sized. I've seen some in the Coastal Bend of Texas that were larger, but still not 20+ feet.

This is preposterous. Birds have bombed the coast with seeds for centuries.
What we need to do is to get rid of cats. That'll do it.
