I agree with all that. My question is why is it not helping in 50 + year's???
Why is the "marsh" any of the 4 kinds ya'll talk about still leaving???
Is it leaving or coming back? Post 3 says its coming back. Which is it? I believe there may be some areas coming back, but its a net loss overall.
1 cause of the storm's
2 the debris coming through did a lot more damage then the saltwater!
3 why is the "marsh" Sabine / West side of hwy 27 all coming back??
4 when was the last time ya'll were West or North of the trapper cabin?? Unless you jumped the leaves ya'll can only see from the road!!
5 if some of the canals would be back opened up you would get a ton of fresh water from Sabine lake, like it was in the past.
6 no one cares about the "marsh" other then hunting it for ducks!
7 thats what protects our home's and families, don't care if it's salt or fresh.
We are actually agreeing here. But brackish marsh doesn't turn into salt marsh overnight. There will not be any marsh there to protect our homes and families. Brackish marsh all has to die and then be replaced by salt marsh but it doesn't work that way. Marshes are pretty much all held together by plant roots. That organic soil is highly erodable and if there are no plant roots to hold it together it washes away. There would be no substrate for salt marsh plants to even germinate on, it would be open water - which is exactly what the aerial photos that show land loss are showing. What once was marsh, is now open water
8 I dont know for fact, but heard from a lot of people on the east side of Cameron prairie fwr and a few fish and game foke. It's political and two big land owner are going to bank BIG!!
9 need to pass a law navigatiable waterways are far game to anyone that hunts or fish.
Navigable waterways does not equal being able to hunt and fish there. If a flood comes up and covers private land, I don't think someone should be able to hunt there even though its navigable, and thats another thread altogether, not going there!
10 50-60 year old laws and ways are not helping none of us!! ( if that were the case we would be killing 3-400 bird's a blind and 1000 fish a day.)
What laws?
11 everything comes full circle( look at what you wore and now what your kids want to where now)
I never thought the 80s fashions would ever come back but they sure did
12 the system will adapt!! ( if man don't keep trying to f..... it up)
The Ship Channel is the culprit and wiers and the saltwater barriers are there simply to mitigate for the saltwater intrusion that it brings with it. Without the Ship Channel, Lake Charles area wouldn't be much.
13 why are we being selfish in this natural cycles??
Just something for all of us to thank about. And it's just my observants.
So check your egos at the door!!
I could care less if I kill a duck or catch a fish again, it's too late for most our kids and maybe our grandkids??
