I imagine this is going to be a much bigger issue if we start opening up all these diversions. If we are going to kill off dolphins to save the land for humans, we better be damn sure that the diversions are going to work.

icks said that he and his crew found two dead dolphins floating along the shoreline of Lake Coquille last week. The St. Bernard Parish Government says nine other dead dolphins have been found since then.

Preliminary feedback from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries suggests that the dolphins are suffering from freshwater lesions because of the influx of freshwater after the Bonnet Carre Spillway was opened. Three living dolphins with the symptoms of freshwater lesions have been spotted in St. Bernard Parish since last week.

Ricks with his scare tactics isn’t going to work. Only way to fix the massive erosion in south LA is diversions and dredging continuously

Uh, look at satellite pics of Atchafalaya and Wax Lake Outlet deltas from today and 1960s.
Diversion works.

Relax. There are plenty of dolphins. They don't care about you. Hell, they'd probably try to rape you.

Freshwater seems to allow microorganisms to flourish that can harm and infect bottle nose dolphins. These microorganisms can't survive in saltwater.

They can survive in freshwater, it just has to be free of infectious diseases.
Dolphins with lesions:
This is what happens in low salinity water:
This is from 2014 on the Mississippi Gulf Coast:

Saltwater also contains certain healing properties, salts and minerals which help to clean out infections and assist dolphins in the healing of various cuts and wounds which may occur due to predators attacking them or injuries from sharp objects in the environment.

"This year, we've had a very serious problem with dolphins being found in fresh water. We're seeing them in Back Bay," said Moby Solangi, IMMS Director. "We're seeing them in Tchoutacabouffa. We're seeing them in bayous like Davis Bayou."
IMMS officials said the increase of dolphins in freshwater is alarming, because dolphins can only survive outside of saltwater for a short while before they start to develop skin lesions.
"Their skin is their protection just like our skin. When they go into fresh water, it starts peeling off. When it peels off, bacteria and fungi invade it. Then it eventually dies," Solangi said.

Aren't dolphins supposed to be smart? They need to figure out how to move somewhere else
