Who told you that? Because I was working for the state in the middle of all of that, and I can tell you the feds got sick of everyone complaining about them, so they got out. They just flat out dropped the operations and told everyone else involved to find someone else to operate the weirs.

So why where u working for the state if u were on federal land??? Spend 3 weeks in a marsh and 30 yrs behind a computer and ur a resident expert??? Willing to bet u live more than a 100 miles from big lake??? I promise u the guides out here get more observations than the biologist do... Comin out and pulling a troll on 3 locations once a month don't amount to jack...

I worked for a program overseen by federal and state agencies doing marsh restoration work. We had 3 or 4 projects in the cameron-creole in my time there, and several more before my time. Yeah, I don't live near big lake anymore, but I did for 18 years up until last August.

Its fine, I've grown accustomed to people just blowing off my experience and work. Pretty much why I left that work. People didn't appreciate the work I did, and I got tired of it. Why waste my time making measily money trying to save the marsh when no one else gives a damn?!

I've studied the wetlands of southwest Louisiana extensively, have studied under tthe guys that did the job before me, and studied and worked under former and current marsh managers, but I guess that still means I don't know crap.

I guess LDWF biologists and private landowners contacting me and coordinating with me on marsh revegetation projects doesn't mean squat either.

Like I said, I've gotten used to being belittled. Figured if I'm going to be belittled, might as well do it while making good money.
