Coastal Louisiana land loss worth price to fix, study will attempt to show

July 17, 2014 Gulf of Mexico

Clint Guidry, president of the Louisiana Shrimp Association, said fishermen are told decisions will be based on science, but they remain skeptical. “I notice you guys have a very bad habit of cherry-picking science,” Guidry said. The main concern about the diversions comes from the amount of fresh water that would be introduced into diversion areas. Some fishermen are convinced it will destroy fishing as they know it.
