There are some nice oyster reef projects already installed right near SW Pass. Reefblok (copyright symbol inserted here) was the material used. They were installed a few years back and growing oysters very well. A similar project on the bayside of Grand Isle was implemented before the oil spill and the oil stayed off them but they are not growing oysters as well as VBay. The ones in Grand Isle are being hammered by oyster drills.
There is nothing in the CMP that is trying to RAISE salinity in our waters, if anything they are trying to reduce the salinity in our estuaries (fighting an uphill battle).
