What i don't understand is why does that marsh need to be completely fresh? There are plenty of brackish marshes all along the LA coast, just like there has been for thousands of years.

I remember that, you would have never thought there was that many redfish back there until that fish kill.

Have you been to the east side of the state before? All that marsh you talk about is disappearing before our eyes. When I have kids and they are my age there will be no more marsh between leeville and grand isle probably. It has reduced by more than half in my lifetime alone. So while the weirs may not be the best option for all parties, they are better than losing all the marsh and then there is no habitat for all those shrimp and redfish yall are crying about
