Ownership of the structure may also be different from management authority which appears to have been delegated several times to a contractor. As far as I can tell, the process of applying the right kinds of pressure to the contractor actually controlling the switches to better align openings and closings with scientific data, the goals of the weirs, and the desires of the public is much more involved than figuring out who owns the structure. I expect the contract is designed to insulate the contractor from demands of the public, is vague about the actual management plans, and specifies a government party to oversee the operation in a manner to obfuscate and frustrate accountability to the public or to scientific principles of operation. And I bet both the contractor and the government overseers are proud of themselves for these arrangements. |

I know exactly how much land is back there and i hunted all over back there for 6 years, until 2009. It was always good and we rarely missed limits. I hunt in lake arthur every day of the season now so i don't get to go back there any more, but i talk to 3-5 people daily who do hunt back there. From what i hear it's not as good anymore as it was for the few years after rita hit and everything was dead. |

Its fine, I've grown accustomed to people just blowing off my experience and work. Pretty much why I left that work. People didn't appreciate the work I did, and I got tired of it. Why waste my time making measily money trying to save the marsh when no one else gives a damn?! I've studied the wetlands of southwest Louisiana extensively, have studied under tthe guys that did the job before me, and studied and worked under former and current marsh managers, but I guess that still means I don't know crap. I guess LDWF biologists and private landowners contacting me and coordinating with me on marsh revegetation projects doesn't mean squat either. Like I said, I've gotten used to being belittled. Figured if I'm going to be belittled, might as well do it while making good money. |

J, I don't know what to tell you man. I'll ask you the same questions I asked W (which I got no answer to btw). Do you know the difference between oystergrass and wiregrass? Or between wiregrass and jamaican sawgrass? I'm not trying to be a smartass, just trying to make a point. The vegetation composition was different historically from what it is now.
Yeah, short term spikes happen, and its not going to kill the grass. That isn't the purpose of the weirs. The weirs were put in to decrease or hold in check a long term increase in salinity. It is the long term increase in salinity that is detrimental to a marsh, not the short term. As far as hogs go, yeah, you're right, they are tearing up the marsh. What does that have to do with the weirs though? I've said it before, I've got plenty of reports and papers on the marsh, and there are plenty more to be found online. It's just a matter of who wants to read them. It is clear I can't say anything that is going to change your opinion. I don't know what I said to make you think I'm belittling you, because I'm not. I've also never said I was an authority on the issue either; that is the assumption everyone jumps to. I'm just speaking from my experiences and research. But for God's sake, can anyone on here tell me the difference between oystergrass, wiregrass, and jamaican sawgrass? |
