		<description><![CDATA[by Anonymous Contributor Don&#8217;t cry over spilled oil, sell what&#8217;s left! I agree with Len Bahr&#8217;s recommendation to use some of the BP oil damage compensation money to fund clean energy start up businesses in Louisiana. I would recommend a complementary means to augment the funding to restore coastal function to a pre-April 20 status. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr, PhD* By now, regular readers of this blog are probably weary of my repeated objections to and case against dredging and pumping deltaic sand to construct temporary barriers to trap oil from the Deep Horizon well blowout. This ambitious and expensive sand berm project, which I consider potentially damaging and poorly-justified, has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr* On July 28 The Times-Picayune published a pointed and poignant editorial by Outdoors editor Bob Marshall, excoriating Governor Bobby Jindal for his insistence on constructing a $360 million project funded by BP to build ~80 miles of coastal sand barriers to intercept floating oil, despite unanimous opposition by coastal scientists. Marshall noted the irony [...]]]></description>

Regular readers of LaCoastPost know that I have long been challenging the wisdom and effectiveness of constructing artificial sand berms for the specific purpose of intercepting intruding oil.

		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr, PhD* Bobby Jindal&#8217;s coastal barrier project resembles a love letter to south Louisiana &#8211; written in the sand. This is my fourth (but probably not final) post on an obsessive push by Governor Jindal to force the feds to rubber stamp and BP to squander $360 building fragile sand berms parallel to [...]]]></description>

The idea was (and is) to pump massive quantities of newly dredged sand to bolster and close gaps in barrier shorelines, in anticipation of approaching oil [...]]]></description>
