they are running oysters closer to their home than ever before. Thats not a good thing....well for them it is because they save on gas. Oyster best used to be mile and miles away. SO introducing fresh water will kill the beds that have set up close to home. It used to be a freshwater estuary not salt.
The video of all the dead oysters shown above was taken just off of the Chandeleur Islands. It was 30 miles from the nearest road.

Here is a picture of the aftermath of the new Grand Bayou breach 2.5 miles north of Mardi Gras Pass from a few days ago. All of the Marsh has been completely destroyed and its now nothing more than a very large mud pit.

quote:tats funny. so lets take everything you qouted. 700 mg per liter of water.
"A recent study done by the CPRA at the proposed site of the Mid Breton Diversion, showed that at high river conditions, suspended sediment ratio was 700 mg. per litre of water. This is what that looks like."
at 75,000cfs -> thats 561,037 gallons a second -> which is 2,123,575 liters per second.
So that many liters with 700mg of soil that equates to 1,486,629,798 mg or 1,486,629 grams or 3,277 pounds of sediment.....per second.
So what do you think about this image now?

Or i can go out there and see all the dead oysters and most likely see other things that might have killed them that wasnt the freshwater diversions. 150 years ago there probably was not oyster beds there because the freshwater on the MS kept it rather fresh..... who gives a shite about it being 30 miles from a road.

Can they not spread seed from a plane/helicopter so that something will grow to hold the dirt? Hell, drop a ton of rye grass on there. Better than nothing, and other grasses will fill in

The money is there... The appropriation has been a shitstorm. Compare it to why it takes 20 years to execute someone sentenced to death.
