I hope you find this relevant: http://lacoastpost.com/blog/?p=21310
It is a post on the idea of using the IHNC and another to move sediment from the nearby MS River back over to the MR-GO to mitigate the wetlands loss.
Please do leave a comment, I think/hope you will like this blog LaCoastPost anyway.
We gonna hang you onto today’s Ladder.
Thanks youz.

Although the soft coastal engineering approach is more confluent with natural tidal processes.

I would also suggest if you haven’t already checking out Smout Allen’s Landscape Machines in <a href="‘Augmented Landscapes’ — built structures which blur distinctions between building, landscape, and process.

A grandiose idea but terribly compelling nonetheless.
