I kid you not. Some politicians are asking the AG to take the Corps to court and stop the Bonnet Carre opening.

Hope this idea doesn't catch on.

Something last week was about how it was hurting fishing and the beaches.

I say frick it, take the structure out. Let it do what nature once did....every year.

And what happens to the MS coast if southeast Louisiana has another 1927?

Bonnet Carre or Morganza? I thought Bonnet Carre was still open.

Or do you mean they're suing to try to get the Bonnet Carre spillway to close?

quote:

Water from the Bonnet Carre Spillway is devastating the Mississippi Sound without benefit to its citizens, Coastal authories said in a meeting Tuesday (May 28). The leaders came together in Biloxi to learn how the fresh water impacts the sound and brainstorm solutions to protect their coast.

Surveys show high oyster deaths, according to Rick Burris, the deputy director of Marine Fisheries within the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. Burris said there has been a 50 percent mortality rate, “across all reefs.”

Dolphins and endangered sea turtles have been harmed as well. Moby Solangi, president and executive director of the Institute of Marine Mammal Studies, said the freshwater from the spillway has damaged the saltwater animals’ skin and resulted in numerous deaths.

Again this is why it's important to put water policy in the hands of independent multi-state non-profit organizations that are composed of top scientists and engineers from all over.. and not controlled by state political appointees.

Expect those non-resident hunting licenses to increase.

Army corps trumps a judge especially when levees could breech

Yeah, they don't have a chance in hell of stopping the spillway from being open.

Talk about turning something from BAD to WORSE. Who’d you have in mind for this task? The United Nations? Are these the same “top scientists” that have been arguing for gov’t controls on the economy of the world in the name of climate change?
