A single level has proven less effective than hoped. I envision more of a staged salinity control system where salinity is gradually reduced from the highest areas (ship channel) to moderate levels (lake) to lower levels (marsh). There is too much flow between the lake and the Gulf for a single level structure (weir) to be effective because it ends up closed to many days each year.

Also, there is a management plan, but it has not really been followed. Opening and closing control structures should be based on the salinity and water levels on each side and the target levels on each side. You know, some measurement science to determine how much salt is flowing.

Second time in this thread that something that I've said for months gets repeated. Yet, everytime I say these things, it starts a big azz argument as to why I'm wrong.

It's almost comical isn't it?

No, not at all. I'm the one that did this kind of work, worked in the Marsh for years, continue to work in wetlands, and have conducted research on those wetlands. Yet, I am told repeatedly that I don't know what I'm talking about.

But its ok when other people repeat it.

Makes perfect sense. Yeah, I see no humor in that.

I know right

U say it and certain folks blow it off, those exact same folks say it down the road and it's taken for the gospel

Maybe you'd be more credible with this crowd if you talked more about liberty, small gov't, and RKBA and didn't think your sacred cows were "reasonable" exceptions. Handing out good fishing info doesn't hurt either. Maybe some selfies with some big fish, along with the whens, wheres and hows you caught them.

Did you really just say selfie? Lol!

So catching big fish is what makes you credible now? Funny, and I'm just spitballing here, but I thought if one, I don't know, say for example, worked in a particular environment for years, you know, that might give their opinion some weight on that particular subject.

Guess I need to get busy catching big fish then, or else I'll never be respected.
