this battle has been ongoing back into the late 1800s.

According to the LTD, tidal overflow lands are owned by the state by inherent sovereignty.

Will dig into this a little later but if this Act is considering all lowlands as state owned then basically a third of the state would be state owned water bottoms. When you look at a map of ownership from the Office of State Lands that isn't the case. Very possible that the state sold a lot of the water bottoms? Or are apache, Miami corps, Biloxi, the rockafellers, and a thousand others that own the water bottoms on coastal Louisiana just squatting on it? Or did the state sell it to them?
