The Wiers are going to be opened from time to time to allow the shrimp to move in and out of the marsh. It amazes me how little some people know about salinity and its effect on the marsh. I happen to know for a fact that the salinities were over 25 ppt a few months back. With all the rain, it has probably dropped. But with the summer being projected as another dry one, Expect salinities to rise again. If that is allowed to continue, there won't be a marsh. So those Wiers have to be operated the way they were supposed to be originally, not the lack of operation that has existed for years. I understand people are going to be upset over the marsh access being cut off, but if they don't do that, you have no marsh.
