No. The problem is that Louisiana's wetlands are evaporating at an alarming rate. They are the speed bumps that decrease a hurricane's force. The Coast 2050 plan will build them back up by allowing silt from the Mississippi River to become deposited in much the same way that Nature intended. Once these wetlands are restored, they will reduce the impact of hurricanes. If they are not restored, and continue to vanish, the job of building and maintaining levees will become much more difficult because storms will not be diminished by the presence of the wetlands. Another Katrina could therefore happen. Yes, commerce will be affected. The plan is good for business, which is why it is supported by commercial interests.
