That's the logic of the NMFS. They think rock is no good for fish, so they don't want it. All they are concerned with is fisheries and fish habitat. So, logically speaking, one could make the argument that they are against Rock because it protects the land, but if that land is lost, it creates more water for fish to live in.

Bit of a stretch, but who's to say its not the truth.

I see what your getting at but weirs are different. You still get water flow behind them. If they were to put rocks from one end to the other on the ship channel there won't be much water flow behind them. I agree though something needs to be done that land is going quick with all the ship traffic.

Actually they had a meeting on June 1st ( i believe)

But spoke with guys that said the weirs have not lived up to the plan and have "NOT" improved the marsh

Before and after picks of the marsh shows a healthier marsh with out water control

The talk was what now to do with the weirs and if it was feasible to have remove


( again I was not there just what i was told my several that went)

Once the damage is done from saltwater intrusion I would think it would be almost impossible to reverse. Just like where I grew up fishing around pecan island. Saltwater started killing the freshwater marsh then they dammed up most of the canals. Marsh continues to die...
