As far as those blockages you speak of, I agree they should be allowed to drain as well. Very likely that if those blockages weren't there you would have probably been catching reds much sooner than Rita. A couple tropical storms and high tides and that area would have been eaten up with the salt much sooner.
It's the big picture..... risk vs reward. I'm sure when the salinity levels are too high the biologist aren't giving 2 *****s that W can't go throw his cast net at the weirs or take his customers to go catch some reds! Thousands of acres of coastal protection is priority.

Im simply stating facts about the freezes that occurred in those yrs . Both times it was in January ,so yes you are correct about it not happening until after November possibly .If it was to happen again. .
Im a firm believer that the good Lord knows whats best for his creation ,and Man should let things be sometimes instead of overthinking and overeacting . He created tides and natural drains for a reason.
