What we need is justification for the other projects mentioned. Rocking the channel at the South end of the lake and another area along the Channel is Moss Lake. Whoever this justification is presented to holds the purse strings. If they get the funding and funnel it through the port the USACE is more than capable of accomplishing the work. |

It boils down to this
You have to get the committee or Senator to make something happen We all kind of knew what kind of night it was going to be when the Jeff Poe asked a very educated question and he got "well the Management plan" Jeff is by far the most knowledgable guide and person on big lake ! I would take anything he says over anyone of those quacks last night ! The dredge lady should of stayed home because she waisted time and could not answer nothing !

Speaking of oysters, why doesn't LDWF seed north of the harvest line and use the north halve of the lake as a refuge to naturally seed the rest of the lake. LDWF is completely propping up the oyster industry on the lake. At least the private leases insure their livelihood by dumping rock after harvest.

I agree that dredging is the dominant factor, my stance is that it is not the ONLY factor to be considered. Is oyster dredging allowed in Sabine? |

When the lake salinity drops in the northern part like by Conni , let's open that weir and let the low salinity water flow into the marsh that way your keep your marsh lower and allowing flow
guy said Manangement Plan don't allow that That Managanent plan is out data and I'm sure it could use an overhaul with new solutions It's what 39years old? That's before I was born and lots of things have changed and it needs to be updated and evaluated better Weirs should never be closed longer than a 2 weeks Every Full Moon and New Moon they should be open for 72 hrs

I don't think anyone really knows whether oyster drills or black drum represents the bigger challenge in restoring and maintaining healthy oyster reefs. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_drill Oystering is not allowed in Sabine. Sabine has the best oyster reefs in Louisiana. |

They also said that unless there are adverse conditions in the lake the weirs will be opend as you state above, which seems unerstandable. not trying to argue with you but i thought i heard the answers to those questions... |

it doesn't matter how light, fluffy, dense or heavy the material is, it is usable. It was once solid on the bottom and will be solid once again where ever they choose to dump it. The heavy stuff that you can actually move with a shovel is not the only viable substance that comes from this. If it stayed light and fluffy the need for that dredge to run 24/7 would not be needed because prop wash and turbulent waters that these large ships produce would keep it stirred up and these "strong western currents" that were brought up would just wash it all away. These materials being dumped right next to the channel being dredged is no the best use of this material, it is a waste. This is the point I tried to make last night but was just hit with the fluffy and cost too much reply. So which scenario costs more? Dredging and dumping next to your channel which requires equipment to never stop and no other benefit is gained other than a safe passage way for ship travel or getting the resource away from where you dig eliminating the chance of it going right back where it came from and rebuilding lost coast line with a side possibility of that channel not needing the dredge as often??? |

i talked with one of the engineers that was doing the dredging. he said that we're too cheap to pay for it to be done properly and all they do is basically agitate the silt and let it cruise on down the channel in the water. he said places like florida and south texas actually use the material and build levees and land. it was just not in our area budget to pay for it to be done properly.... instead we put millions into building a little loop thatll direct traffic to a new casino and be more of a headache for all of us.

We have a so called dying Marsh ( only in east side ) and we have a dredge pumping out material 24/7 365
But it makes to much sense to put 2 and 2 together and make it useful Nope just dump the "fluff" back half mile from where you pulled it " She said it goes towards Texas anyway "

as for the weirs...Yes they have their very old plan in place that was working before our area was changed by forces of nature beyond anyones control. To think that conditions will return to what they were 10-15 years ago is like thinking you're going to win the powerball every week. They know the conditions and they know what is needed to improve, FRESH water. Yet they seem very content to sit there and collect a check holding the bandage on the wound and complaining about how much blood is being lost. If our state and local agencies and 32 subcommittees are so worried about Cameron parish turning into the next Lake Pontchartrain then why is their only only plan to wait for rain. They are worried about the need for water being so great that it will drop the ICW to a level that will impede navigation but are satisfied with just waiting for rain.

to get money you have to push for money. Im not talking about building a 12 million dollar pipeline to build up a spot in Joe Blows privately owned marsh. Im talking about taking it the beaches and rebuilding lost coastline. Yes this takes money from our gooberment but if it is taken to them in a viable manor stating what good could be done for our coastline rather some private entity it may not fall on deaf ears. How many campaigns and groups are out there pushing to restore coastline??? If these government officials preach it but dont feel the need to act upon it when it is put in front of them then we have found a root part of the problem and it will be up to us, "the people", to help solve the problem. |
