Louisiana Natives- is this true?

Louisiana is losing more land to rising water?

Well since the world is flat.......

 

I have seen whole grave yards go submerged and never reappear.

 

I live further north, but the water has been up so much and so high I lost 15ft of bank this year, so far. High water takes it off the top, dropping flood water undercuts it...I'm half way to owning a pond in the middle of a river now.

 

Globally, sea levels are rising about 1/8" inch or slightly over 3 mm per year. I suspect that either the land is washing away or sinking.

Is sea level rising?

 

The delta was being constantly built up by soil eroded from the midwest. But when farmers realized what was happening and finally started using tillage techniques to reduce erosion the delta started to decline. One small example. Definitely not world wide.

 

Even though it’s only 152 feet above sea level at its peak, Avery Island is one the highest points in the Gulf Coast.

My home is only 52 feet above see level and it has never flooded even during Harvey. My old home was 19 and Harvey put 6 feet of water in it. My ex now owns it had insurance but can't find a legit contractor to repair it. South-East Texas is still full of out of town, fly by night, dishonest contractors ripping people off left and right, if you can find one that is not too busy ripping someone else off.

 

I saw a special about the ship canals, oil field canals, etc, and such made in the last 50 years or so that are hastening the flow of water and silt out into the gulf and that the swamps, etc are no longer filtering and settling out the silt and fertilizers. There big argument was the ever increasing dead zone where there isn't enough oxygen for aquatic life at the mouth of the Mississippi and the disappearance of the barrier islands and the vegetation that used filter out the silt and fertilizers and absorb the surges of storms. Being public TV, it was all due to the horrible climate destroyers and the oil companies rampart greed. Don't know what caused it, but the delta is a changing from what little I read. Up here in New Hampshire it is just the opposite, the people with money build houses around the beautiful little lakes, then the fertilizer run off from their lawns, etc, and the nutrients from their leach fields cause an explosive growth of aquatic weeds and 20 years later the houses look over either a milifoil choked lake or a cat tail swamp.

 

Land is sinking more than the water is rising.

 

Keep your pirogue close and your powder dry.

 

Barge, house boats sail boats -- think water world or Venice No grass to cut fishing & skeet shooting off your poop deck

 

Well, I can only hope. Right now my house is about 1100 ft from Mobile Bay, but let it keep creeping until I got beach front and I'll sell this to a snowflake and head to Montana.

 

Been there, didn't see the welcome mat when we passed the inlet.

 

Keep in mind that additional land is being formed by accretion carried out by the Mississippi river....

 

Water I don't mind as long as there are no chunks of ice in it I prefer coastal tropical waters deep blue is not friendly.
