That Managanent plan is out data and I'm sure it could use an overhaul with new solutions
It's what 39years old? That's before I was born and lots of things have changed and it needs to be updated and evaluated better
Weirs should never be closed longer than a 2 weeks
Every Full Moon and New Moon they should be open for 72 hrs

I don't recall him saying the management plan doesn't allow it. I recall them continually referencing that it isn't just about salinity. There are multiple factors that determine the opening of the weirs. He also said there is a delayed reaction between the northern portion of the lake and the southern portion by the weirs. Just because the salinity is low up north doesn't make it low down south. I believe MG has said that many times on here.
And again, the management plan was created in 1987. That's 27 years old. And there is nothing now about the science behind marsh management and salinities that contradicts what was known in 1987. The only difference now is there were a couple of one time events (hurricanes) that set back the progress the weirs were making.
