the seaward side of estuaries and during droughts.

Also when you control the salinity going in the lake the sediment will also be controlled it goes hand and hand really.

Most of this info that I post is in the oyster assessments that are on the LDWF website. Very informative for a person that is interested in these issues.

Thanks TTOP
