This coming from guys who hunt, fish and live off that marsh along with a biologist
Not 2 different monsters....one monster, saltwater. Without the MS River flooding it's banks and depositing it's alluvial soil(go google the word) and pushing the salt water out of the marshes the saltwater has a perfect avenue in. The marsh behind the weirs was not created to hold that amount of salt. Due to man made avenues the saltwater comes in more freely, and the weirs allow us to regulate it.

Some people are paid to think, and the rest...well the rest just wish they were.
