Yeah the salinity levels may get high in that marsh at times, and at other times the water will be extremely fresh. Mother nature is better at working things out than we are.

If that is the argument, why aren't there weirs and levees on every coast of every lake in southern LA? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell that there is little to no difference in the east bank of Big Lake and the east bank of Sabine Lake.

So i guess it is okay for saltwater intrusion to happen in the marshes west of West Cove?
X1000 I agree
