Plus at least one other breakthrough. Then to have the Third Delta refill Barataria Bay with more swamp. Then to sacrifice the Birdfoot. Then to have downstream traffic stir up the mud to help create the downstream land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507783677842047136.post-15900137858780149702012-03-30T19:45:55.490-04:002012-03-30T19:45:55.490-04:00Another Mississippi River concern with wetlands re...Another Mississippi River concern with wetlands restoration.
