To the best of my knowledge flooding is a normal part of the life cycle of a swamp. Be it from rivers rising or just the result of being at the end of a large watershed. Our native frogs up here would be in trouble without it. Spring runoffs create the temporary pools that they breed in. Same can be said for a lot of species.
So am I correct in understanding that the reduction in flow to the Atchafalaya created by the man made structures on the Mississippi (as pictured) is restricting the ability of the river to cleanse the bayou of excess salinity? And this, like you said, harms the plant species that fight erosion? Likely is also harming fish and amphibians that cannot handle salt water. Only in the case of natural resource harvesting would this be allowed. All rules seem made to be broken when that kind of money is at stake. We have companies operating in Michigan that do open pit gravel mining. No one wants it near their property. Many have tried to fight them, don't know of any that have won.
