First of all its not my job. Just plain ignorance on your part. The marshes on the channel are salt Marsh, never said those weren't. If what I said was misinterpreted, my fault. A Marsh is not just fish, only an idiot would believe that.

Read my other threads and quit being a heathen. I've argued this time and time again, have countless documents and research that show that area has changed. Private landowners backed the weirs. It was not all government. That Marsh was dieing.

The fact is, the intelligent cannot educate the uneducated masses. People will believe what they want to believe, it is human nature after all. I could show you everything to prove what I say is fact, I could show it to you out there. And you would still not believe.

And for your information, little man, I work for private industry now.

I can't decipher what that means. What marsh was/is gone? West side? East side?

Both marshes took a hard pounding from Rita but wind doesn't do it, its the saltwater that remains on site that will kill the plants. Go take a bucket of seawater and throw it on your lawn, see for yourself, cheapest herbicide you can find.
In ancient civilizations when a tribe or peoples were conquered, the victors would salt their fields, so that they couldn't grow crops AT ALL forever brah

Hey just come out and say!!! Its all 100% about duck hunting and saving Wegiongrass


Bottomline!! Need Ducks for duck hunting = so can charge $250 per gun= close the weirs =save Weigongrass for duck food= more money

You can spell this word 2 ways 'widgeon' or 'wigeon' and they are both correct, but 'weigon' aint gonna cut it, and you can't blame spell check for that powerpoint slide either

and I already told you that wigeongrass aka weigongrass can handle salinity, its scientific name is Ruppia martima. Not going to tell you what maritme means, gonna have to google that one

How long before the marsh on the east bank of sabine is gone?

Sabine is a bit different from Calcasieu. The ship channel is not as deep for the same distance N (Port Arthur is much further south than Lake Charles). Consequently, there are lower volumes of salt water influx. Furthermore, due to the smaller and shallower openings between the ship channel and the southern end of Sabine Lake, the ship channel actually delivers more salinity to the northern end of Sabine Lake (NW corner). Sabine Lake's more common salinity gradient is from more saline at the N to less saline at the S.

Toledo Bend dam also provides more regulation and tends to even out the fresh water input so that even in dry periods, releases from the dam keep the fresh water flowing in so that big, upward salinity swings are much less common. Consequently (as shown in attachment), the marsh losses E of Sabine tend to be smaller than the marsh losses W of Big Lake.

good site for this

http://sonris-www.dnr.state.la.us/gis/sonris/viewer.htm

You can view historic photos and switch back and forth to really show the land loss

Here are Landsat from 1992 and 2005
