A single level has proven less effective than hoped. I envision more of a staged salinity control system where salinity is gradually reduced from the highest areas (ship channel) to moderate levels (lake) to lower levels (marsh). There is too much flow between the lake and the Gulf for a single level structure (weir) to be effective because it ends up closed to many days each year.
Also, there is a management plan, but it has not really been followed. Opening and closing control structures should be based on the salinity and water levels on each side and the target levels on each side. You know, some measurement science to determine how much salt is flowing.
