We need to rebuild out natural ridges, if LA got what Colorado and other interior states got as far as revenue sharing from the feds we could rebuild our coast in a decade or so.
We can hope.

You could show this to any 1st grade class and they would all figure this out. North La has toto much sediment in the MS River, south La needs sediment. Its comical, but not really

Natural ridges - I agree, just a 2 ft elevation change is where the cheniers were formed. When you head south on HWY 1 to Grand Isle you can see all the dead live oaks out there that used to be a chenier there. The same with SW La, right across from Price Lake Road entrance you can see all those dead live oaks on the cheniers.
