Its just like most things where people will argue til they are blue in the face on the internet and phone but as soon as their voice can be heard in a public environment, no one shows up  We are about to have to face some real drastic decisions if we want to actually do something to restore Louisiana's coast. A lot of people are going to get upset and some will have to move and give up a lot of their heritage but in the long term its what is needed. Ask anyone who has been across the Leeville bridge in the last 5 years how much that area has changed.
It may be cool to be able to walk out onto your dock in Lake Charles and catch a speckled trout, but saltwater intrusion is a very very very bad thing. |
I agree... I want these marshes to be there for my kids and their kids to enjoy. It is sickening how much land has been lost around GI/Leeville in the last 25 years.
