NEWS for land emerging above the surface would depend on a lot of factors such as water levels in the Mississippi. But Simoneaux said results could be evident in five years. “I think you would see those natural ridges start to form, and you would see the woody formations happen just the same as here,” he said. Not everyone is as eager. Robert Campo’s family has been in the fishing industry since 1903. Fishermen still come to his dock in Shell Beach to buy brown shrimp for bait. Campo and others worry the diversions will flood their fishing areas with dirty Mississippi river water, destroying an industry vital to the state’s economy and culture. Shrimpers worry they’ll have to travel much farther to fish; oystermen worry about losing millions of dollars invested in oyster reefs. “We all want coastal restoration. Trust me, I’m a big advocate for it. I think we need to rebuild this whole coast. But there’s other ways of doing it ... with minimal effects to our fisheries,” Campo said. Diversion opponents also point to recent flooding-fighting efforts on the Mississippi. Fed by rain and melting snows in the Midwest, the Mississippi ran unusually high for months earlier this year. The Army Corps of Engineers twice opened the Bonnet Carre Spillway, which protects New Orleans’ levees by channeling huge amounts of river water into normally brackish Lake Pontchartrain, a huge tidal basin that drains into the Gulf. The sudden release of freshwater into saltwater ecosystems killed oysters, diminished fish catches and damaged livelihoods. Skeptics question how much land will be built. R. Eugene Turner, a professor at LSU’s Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, argued in a recent study that existing diversions, including Davis Pond, have led to overall land loss. Haase, from CPRA, said operators will have much more control over the diversion systems than they have over the spillway. A system of monitors will alert them to how the ecosystem is responding so they can make changes. He said the federal permitting process will help identify areas, such as oyster grounds, that might be affected by the diversions, so the state can help them. “If we’re going to get to where we think we need to get on our coast, bold action is required,” Haase said. “These are bold projects.” Concerned about harmonics but not sure what to do?
