No wetland bushes are going to stop a 15' to 35' storm surge. Levees were designed and constructed by Contractors with Federal Money. Design's were in accordance with the USACOE's Shore Protection Manual, Volume II. You're essentially claiming that scrub bushes would have saved New Orleans better than earthen levees and a 20' high concrete floodwall in some areas? Come On! Not only that, see the Clean Water Act sections 401 and 404. Destruction of Wetlands is illegal without a permit from the USACOE.
