You cant change $$$$$$$$$$

Its has zero to do with erosion, save the marsh or salinity

It is all about who has the most $$$ = most power

Understood. It's a problem that mankind has faced since the beginning (economics)

Now who specifically is the culprit...be it a group, individual, etc

Forgive me for not paying attention to the 12 other threads started about this topic (why I'm in this one I do not know) what was the original intent of the weir system?

W this the power of the Internet....social media and Internet forums...it gives the little man (no pun intended) the opportunity to voice their concern and quite possibly be heard.

Maybe your concern for the corruption involved with the weir system could open eyes of the many...

Hell Egypt used social media to oust a tyrannical leader (which brought in the Muslim brotherhood) by coordinating protest and voicing their agenda.

1. Understand factual problems associated with the weir system
2. Pinpoint the cause of the problem
3. Coordinate an effort to reverse the problem
4. Rape the lake.

4 simple steps to gain the power you so richly deserve

Amen. Go get a job where you are payed to think and call the shots or quit crying. Play the hand your dealt and deal with it. The man with the gold makes the rules, so get the gold or get to packing.

I dont see them opening up until we have a good flood rain for a few days

Idk, but as soon as they do I will be out there with 4 rods, a cast net, and a dozen crab lines hanging off my boat.....not kidding.

Duck Butter, come up with a better argument that hwy 27 and 82. Lmao no **** it's dead, it was under 10ft of ocean water.

Guess what too, it's all starting to come back.

It doesn't matter what you do to protect marshes, when a major hurricane comes every 25 years and covers everything in 10-15 feet of ocean water, it's all going to die. It's all a cycle that has been happening for forever. Don't compare our side of the state to the east side, that has the mississippi river levied off and tons and tons of man made canals dug throughout the marshes. The marsh off of 82 is coming back and starting to look great. Hell besides a few places on the south side of 82, eerything is so overgrown you can't even see into the marsh. It wouldn't make one bit of difference what had been done to the marsh that still doesn't look good, the hurricane did that, and it'll happen again and again in the future.

nevermind, see y'all next thread

I have said plenty

It doesn't matter how many feet its covered, if saltwater stays in those systems for long enough it will kill it. That is the point. The wiers are there to keep the highly saline water from getting back there. That is it, we know what will happen when highly saline water gets on plants. You just said it = 'its all going to die'. Now I have said enough

Weirs are fine when open!! They have been keep open for years and years until Rita blew them out( mother nature takes care of her self)

Once repaired they were still keep open until this new "Duck Hunting Management took over "

Now that the duck grass is built up they want to make sure the duck grass dont die!!!


So new duck hunting management has set up salinity stations to monitor there grass growth!!

So, when the wiers were back in place the 'duck grass' came back? Hmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder why? Perhaps the lower salinity behind a functional wier So the wiers are doing what they were designed for, who woulda thunk it
