CCA and many other non-profit conservation orgs get a bad rap from people who don't know what they are about. CCA got a bad rap a few years back because a few mouthbreathers on Louisiana Sportsman got all up in arms because they thought CCA should go up against all the private landowners in the state that owned property with "navigable water". Forget that this water was once marsh and these landowners still pay taxes on it, but a few got mad that they can't fish or duck hunt on this water and felt that CCA should fight it It wouls be suicide to try to tackle something like that and why in the world would CCA even get involved with that?

The Coastal Master Plan is already addressing a few large erosion projects (including Calcasieu Lake) so there is no need for CCA to try and reinvent the wheel and do something for it when its already planned.

Again, wait until some of these projects start rolling and you will see why no organization should gt in the middle of disputes. There will be guides against any salinity control measures on Big Lake just watch and see.

You yourself have even been against the weirs even though they have been operated EXACTLY how they were proposed to be operated

WEIRS arent supposed to be how any natural estuary operates but our area has damaged ours so bad with the promise of money. there are so many factors involved here.
