How much storm surge do these two areas reduce for population centers?

Do you know the actual reduction or you just playing bullshite games to sound smart?

The key with the diversions is to rebuild land over time, year after year. After the initial major expense of building a structure that mimics the old river flooding, there is minor costs associated with maintenance unlike the yearly costs associated with dredging.

I’m very nearly starting to boycott Louisiana oysters. As mentioned, they got arse loads from BP. Now they “might” have to relocate their leases to historic mileage away from the launch due to the return of fresh water and that’s just too much for the ole baw to handle.

It’s utter nonsense that we can’t protect the freshwater systems because of politics.

The marsh dies every year because the lack of nutrients from the river. But no matter, the oyster man will shave 30 minutes boat ride.
