I shudder to think what these maps look like today 10 years after the last images were taken.

I knew this ole cat in Hackberry who claimed the erosion was a myth because he had been fishing there for 40 years and never noticed it

Why is anyone surprised? You channel the river that built the delta and the delta dissolves. Cannot be stopped, might be slowed.

We just need more Xmas trees

I fished this summer with a guide who was using a GPS map that was 4 years old. Crazy how much has washed away in those 4 years. This was in Grand Isle.

Funny shite is the liberal media has forgotten about it...after pinning it on global warming and sea level rise they finally gave up.
Gonna have to blow out the levees and piss off the ornery fisherman...only way to save the marsh.
Scott McLendon wrote a BA paper a few years back about the geology of Louisiana...see if I can find it again.
Louisiana and the nation dont give a crap about anything but the river...just dredge it up every few years.

The rate of erosion is overstated. Land is being lost just not nearly at the rate being proclaimed. Hell areas near the Atchafalaya River are growing and the marsh is healthier than ever.

has no bearing on the fact that land is indeed disappearing

It can be stopped and reversed, no one has the guts to do what is necessary though.
LA has to make a choice, which do you value more, a deepwater port in NO and freshwater cooling in cancer alley or marsh building sediment? It really is that simple.
There is no magic formula to have your cake and eat it as well.

They have to allow large sections of the river to dump into the marsh as well as dredge. The amount of sediment left over in bonne carre after this last opening is unreal. Look at wax lake. Just opening passes isn’t going to cut it. The oyster fisherman will bitch, the fishing guides, shrimpers, etc. it’s not too late if we do something now,. The bickering needs to end.

That is just noise
The bitching that matters will come from every plant on the river and the Port of NO, dredging may help the port but will do nothing to resolve freshwater cooling issues.

There are plans for one around Myrtle Grove for the north side of Barataria Bay and plans for one for Maurpas as well along with many smaller sediment diversion, but they get stuck in government red tape that by the time the projects are approved our state will have more than likely squandered the BP money.

The choice has clearly been made by the shot callers

quote:watch the same thing happen around the Marci Gras cut. When the river is down they should repair it to a given height and make it an overflow weir. Would do wonders when the river is high but give a chance for salt marshes to form. Make more, one every few miles both sides the river from NewOrleans on down
Look at wax lake

Can you slow it down? The gif?

Yes, that one small little area near the Atchafalaya "delta" is growing. EVERYTHING ELSE is receding / submerging.

No. It would have to be a NATIONAL PRIORITY in order to have a chance to stop it. It will never be that.
The Coast 2050 Plan stated as it's goal; "No NET loss of wetlands by the year 2050". That was if it was fully funded 15 years ago. It has never been funded and the costs have only increased.
