Since following this topic and reading the article in the local paper dated 9-7, it appears the salinity levels are increasing with the weirs closed. The article mentioned that the salinity level was 8 ppt and was about to be opened within a week, but then the level shot up to 13 ppt. Now according to this thread the salinity level is 15ppt.
Where is the breach into the marsh? Or do the analyzers need to be calibrated?
Perhaps a diversion project would be a good option to take some of the lower salinity water from the intracoastal waterway in order to blend down the salt water intrusion?
