And the marsh was fine before the weirs but of course man thinks they can do it better there are plenty places with no weirs use rock ledges for erosion control and let nature work the rest

Says who? I've got maps and reports showing the change in vegetation. That was a fresh marsh, now its brackish, intermediate at best.

The reason shrimp catches were so good prior to installation of the weirs could probably be easily correlated to the amount of dead vegetation caused by increased salinities. Shrimp eat dead vegetation, but I'm sure you knew that.

I saw many acres of grass die 2 years ago due to high water and salinity behind those weirs. Not all marsh is created equal.
