Smalls and MG, i did not lump either of you in the catagory of greenies.
I have seen the damage they will do to a fishery and an economy just to say they saved a frikin minnow. i know that we in La loose more land in one day than any other estuary in the world. And i am not sure that anything we do now to save it is not just pizzing in the wind. A salt water barrier on big lake will help the duck hunters and May save some of the private marsh. But how much effect will it have on the economy ? Not just talking about the many folks who guide , shrimp , oyster etc . But if you slow the shipping lanes down that makes a big economic slow down. A barrier may not be the way to fix the problem.
anything you do to alter the lake and the marsh around it is going to ruin someones income. Don't think the fisherman ,oystermen , shrimpers have enough money or clout to fight big oil.
