The link died on me,
I would like to know more about where it is and what they plan to do.
It sounds like the marsh West of the old dump area.
In general, I have seen several of the Corps "Marsh Restoration Projects".
They take existing marsh, levee it off and pump it full of dredge material.
I think that we need the existing shallow, marshy areas as a nursery for fish, shrimp, and crabs. What is left after the Corps is done is not good for anything except maybe wading birds. Check out the area North of Hog Island Gully or any of the spoil banks along the ship channel. Just my 2c. I don't know what the Corps is actually proposing but I know what they have done in the past.
