That's what caused the marsh loss pure gulf water and 100mph winds
If the land loss was strictly because of storm surge and hurricane winds, the subsidence should have stopped after the last hurricane (Ike) impacted the area, I can promise you it didn't stop then. The amount of land loss I've watched back there year of year without the influence of hurricanes is shocking and depressing.
