King Milling if Shell Oil is going to pay their share of the wetland loss due to canal cuts and underground subsidence from extraction. It's estimated that 1/3rd of coastal land loss is due to these influences. Most of the mineral extraction companies are not interested in returning the costs they received for free from our state. They'd rather the federal government and the state government pick up the cost. Well, our governments already have to pick up their share of the cost for having built all those levees and starved the wetlands. It's a symbiotic relationship where multiple parties are responsible and all must be required to step up and honor their moral obligations to make this right. We'll never be "made whole" as they say in the legal community, but we would like a chance at survival, at preserving the lands that preserve our people which preserve our culture. - Jason D.
