and it will continue to be as long as the weirs are operated correctly

it will NOT be if saltwater is allowed in there and the whole place turns to a big wide open mudflat which WILL happen if saltwater gets there


heading to Grand Isle to fish tomorrow because that place is NOT going to be there forever, gonna enjoy it while I can. That side of the state should serve as an example for all coastal regions on what canals and levees can do to an entire ecosystem. They are trying to mitigate for the land loss a little too late, the freshwater diversions should have been there when the MS River levee went up. 'They' didn't know back then the damage they were doing, NOW 90 years later 'they' do know, thats why the weirs are there. Had the weirs on Big Lake not been placed back up after Rita (6 years of saltwater intrusion) I bet by now there would have been a huge negative impact on the marsh, the fish, and especially the ducks. People would be picketing at City Hall to replace them. Of course we will never know though
