All that land is owned by large land companies. Very little owned by private land owners. I know both of the land managers that manage the land in Cameron-Creole.

When those weirs open, the shrimp will be there for everyone and the fish as well. Saving marsh is MUCH greater than recreational shrimping. You can buy shrimp anywhere in S La and they are a renewable resource, marshland is hard to renew.

This is going to be a big fight in the near future, when fishing interests are fighting against the good of all. There are groups in SE LA that are fighting tooth and nail against proposed diversions to 'save their trout fisheries' All that land behind the weirs will probably be gone one day, may as well keep it around as long as possible, there will always be fish in the lake as someone just said the west side is chock full of shrimp

I agree, but let me add that it is the short term fishing interests fighting against the long term good of all. Controlling salinity in the marsh is essential to maintaining a high level of fishing opportunity in the long term. There is no scientific debate here. The data is overwhelming and the science showing the disaster for long term fishing is extremely compelling.

Yep, and its gonna be a hard fight and one no one wants to fight but its going to come one of these days and more and more people are starting to make their living off the lake, its gonna get ugly

and they are not in the best shape either

You can see the eroding of the marsh firsthand, I am pretty sure you even mentioned the erosion at supercut, different but same yo

Private. Its nice because its consulting, but its environmental, so I'm thinking of starting a wildlife consulting business on the side like I've always wanted to. May never get big, but I'll make a few extra bucks and get to do something I've always wanted to do.
