Most of the marsh restoration planned in the current master plan is on existing private land.

If we just ignored private marsh because everyone doesn't have access, there would be very little coastal restoration to be had.

I too, would like to see those marshes open to the public, but unless you can enfore laws to protect all of that marsh, what's stopping people from running all over tearing it up?

Sabine, Lacassine, Cameron Prairie, Rockefeller...all have regulations on where you can go and what you can go there in. Those marshes are largely protected because of this.

If all of that private marsh becomes public, who is going to protect it? Who is going to make sure people aren't running all over in surface drives?

When they figure those questions out, great. Go for it.

For now, restore the private marshes so we all have coastal lakes to fish in, abundant fisheries, and protection for our infrastructure.

What is Louisiana without it's coastal Marshes? Any other state.
