If someone is on the ball, they will do the right thing.
High water will override any decisions on salinity and fish.
The drainage board in Cameron and Creole own the weirs.
Too much water and they will open them to get it out.
They won't let flooding take priority over fish and game.

The fresh water needs to be held back. I know a bunch of people that hunt back there and the salinity this duck season was even higher than the Lake itself. This happen in several marshes this year due to the drought. Ducks became nonexistent with no food and much pressure. Good for the ducks is bad for the fish. I guess you can't keep everyone happy.
