No, the federally funded projects have created the problem.

The river floods - brings down soil from the North to create a Delta. Rivers change courses, leaving behind fertils land for crops. Levees, dams, and other flood control projects channel all the flood waters directly into the Gulf. Erosion is eating away at the coastlands - we are lossing more than 2 football fields worth of land EVERY DAY. We have lost several of the Barrier islands in the last few years. Since the federally funded projects created the problems shouldn't they fix it now ?

Not possiable to get insurance when your property is under the Gulf. Several companies simply will not insure in certain areas at all.
