re: NOAA says sea levels could rise 2 feet by 2050 in Louisiana.

Don’t have much to say about rising water levels, but our depleting coastline is one of Louisiana’s biggest problems that needs to be solved as soon as possible

We’ve all heard the “football field an hour” saying, but the marshlands are one of LA’s biggest commodities.

Without marshlands, you can kiss some of the best fishing in the world goodbye, as well as our huge seafood industry. Obviously, hurricanes will be stronger northward through the state as well.

Don’t know how to solve it, but it definitely needs more attention from our politicians.

There’s a metric ton being done, but mostly band aids. The only solution won’t happen anytime soon, and will never truly happen. That’s to just let the river do it’s thing. Outside of that there’s major restoration going on, which will slow it down and even regain a little in some places. The good news is it’s being attacked from every direction. The bad news is every effort has some known and unknown consequences. I’m encouraged by the actions being taken, but heart broken seeing the impacts of Ida. That storm did 20 to 30 years of damage in 1 day. There’s a project I’ve worked on for years now that was on its way to construction, it’s almost back to the drawing board now. The entire area was dramatically altered.

Is it 1990 again?
