Ah. we are right near the levee. don't get me started on the graft that I believe Harry and his friends received for this levee project. "Developing" a bunch of lots to increase the taking value of his property. No one has developed or bought shite there.

because you are worried about your camp when the steps being taken are for the betterment of the whole system. Have you even read any of the Morganza to the Gulf Reports and what they are doing?Posted on 10/25/18 at 10:30 am to Motorboat
so, let me get this straight... its shameful to have some camps outside the levee protection at risk instead of protecting the majority of the population and your primary home inside the levee protection ?
proves one thing... there is still good crack on the street.

we will still keep our camp in Dularge but only use it during the spring and summer....very seldom in the Winters as we are all in the woods of La, Miss and Bama

you are correct that levees have affected water levels to a certain degree. The most significant issue affecting water levels is lack of marsh, this is causing the necessity of the levees. I also would love to protect our ecosystem but I'm afraid that is too far gone at this point and you have to draw a line somewhere or I'll have beach front property in Thibodaux.
As far as closing locks, I don't know. I guess we'll be learning about that before too much longer when the one on Falgout Canal is completed. I have heard that there is an app that is supposed to give 8 hours notice before closure, not saying thats a fact though.

where did I ever say that it is shameful you obtuse pussy fart?
I understand why they're doing it, but I also want people to understand that there are costs that will not be realized immediately. i.e. destruction of camps below the levees and probable destruction of habitat, fisheries, breeding grounds, islands and marsh. You know-- Things that traditionally offered hurricane protection.

MB, maybe negligent was too strong of a word. Just saying that big picture Billions of dollars in economy, infrastructure and property will always win out over fishing camps. I say that as a guy who would sell everything I've got and move into mine!

I absolutely understand this. BUT, there is also the argument that billions of dollars lies in the ecosystem in the form of fishing, both recreational AND Commercial.
The way this levee was done was shortsighted. I doubt that ANYONE who designed and studied it disclosed to anyone that it would affect tides as much as it has. I also doubt that anyone saw that they would close the structures as often as they have. that is why this thing aggravates me so badly.

Wouldn't expect you to say its shameful MB.... and I fish as much as the next guy. Land loss is a fact and what the parish is doing on its own is helping save what we have. "Pussy Fart" - what you still in high school ?

I also have a marsh camp where I have spent a whole lot of time. the only time he water would go over the dock was for a nearby storm. Now, the water is over the dock consistently.
ever hear of coastal erosion and land loss?

On top of the levee projects CPRA is trying to increase the acreage of the marsh with multiple land terracing projects. They realize that there is a lack of marsh, but it's kind of at a rock and a hard place point. Do you protect the people or the ecosystem. They are trying their best to figure out a way to do both.

Man you guys are incapable of having a discussion where someone disagrees with you. Of course I've heard of coastal erosion and land loss, but what we are observing south of the levee is caused by a man made levee. This levee will eventually contribute to more coastal land loss south of the levee.
If you are OK with that, then cool. I'm not.

My proof is my experience down there. The water is significantly higher for miles south of the levee. the incoming tide water has nowhere to go. If the water is higher, more marsh will be lost. I do not see any marsh building projects below the levee. Mark my word, the land loss south of the levee will be greater than if there were no levee.

yeah maybe so. I'm perusing the CPRA site and there is enough information to get lost in for months. All I can tell you is that very few people in our fishing camp community on four point saw any of this coming. It was like one day they started building a levee.
