Blame the levees.

And what happened to all the federal (tax) dollars given to LA for coastline engineering???
Hmm. Interesting pictures. I am no expert here, but something seems wrong. In both pictures, the background is identical, the picture taken angle is exact, the pole with the sign hasn’t changed angle, etc..
Unless the pictures taken were within just a couple of minutes from each other, I would have still expected some of the following.
The clouds would have changed between pictures, even just a little. The time of day doesn’t seem to have changed. The lighting hasn’t changed, nor the shadows.
Also, by changing the sign, I would have expected some modification to the pole angle, even accidental would have done something to it. But more specifically, I would think that the installer would have tried to straighten the pole.
Exactly. The levees prevent silt from reaching the wetlands. The wetlands dies and salt water advances.
Actually MRGO is the real problem. Years ago the Government cut a straight path through the Cypress swamps for ships to run a straighter course into the River and it allowed Salt Water to backflow deeper than ever before and it slowly eat away the wetlands that surrounded it.
