Reminds me of New Orleans

Subsidence, pump out water, land sinks
Shoreline erosion, prevention of seasonal Mississippi flooding
Salt water incursion

The Crescent City is doomed

It’s just a matter of time

Could allow the Mississippi River flow to Morgan City/Berwick as the natural processes attempted in 1973 flood. The Atchafalaya Basin hosted the main river channel in times past. Eventually the river will win the fight.
