I always thought if we have a real bad Cat 5 roll through right there that would be a new inlet.
Hard to know what effects it would have even if it is researched and studied ad nauseam because I don't think we could factor in mother natures way of adjusting. We humans feel like we can control everything and then she smacks us with a natural disaster to try to put us in check.

I imagine tidal flow wouldn't be any more that a mile or two either direction, which would leave a great part of the lagoon unaffected. That and Sebastian wheezes the same water back and forth when the crap from C54 is released.

I was right.

literally none of this stuff matters...
If it is good for real estate value it's gonna happen
science, logic, reasoning, betterment of humanity, doesn't matter... if it's good for $ it's gonna happen..

IRL Symposium was this week. http://www.indianriverlagoon.org/symposium.html Buncha dang science geeks (guilty) talking about the Lagoon. One item being studied, a pump at Patrick to move seawater to the Lagoon. That flushes (double entendre) the Banana out Sebastian Inlet. Ew. Be careful what you wish for.

Pumps and inlets and flows oh my! 
But green grass fails to be mentioned.

Cole, the closest reasonable discussion I heard about source control was during q and a of keynote speaker Ed Phlips, UF. When asked about an Inlet, filter feeders, etc. as means to clean up the Lagoon, his answers were, paraphrased, "that could work or help but source control...". My interpretation anyway. Quick notes on source control: eliminate ornamental fertilization, require reuse water to meet surface water standards, tie in septic to sewer. It ain't rocket science.

In Indian River County, it's turning out that getting lawns away from seawalls by even a few feet, with buffers of no-fertilizer naitve plants, is sufficient to help local water clarity.

Source control is the only real option and that's not going to happen with the current "climate" in this state.

Let's get this proposal together with the First Peak Project and the Guvment, throw a few billion bucks at them. What could go wrong?
Maybe in the meantime we should quit flowing stuff into the lagoon (it's not a river!) that turns it green.
