@joaocardoso123 for everybody who has no idea whats going on they use explosives to blast through dense vegitation in order to create more open water, the ratio of open water to vegitation is best kept at a 50:50 ratio to acheive what is called a hemi marsh this provides more feeding grounds for waterfowl... so in the long run its good for the birds and any that were killed were almost definatly used for reaserch.
Anyone interested in coastal restoration efforts should get involved with America's WETLAND: Campaign to Save Coastal Louisiana. The foundation works to raise public awareness of the impact Louisianas wetland loss has on the state, nation and world and to gain support for efforts to conserve and save coastal Louisiana. Check out the video "Washing Away" and support AWF by subscribing to the channel "marmillionco."

MandeeNoel you are a fucking moron.
That is all.
Learn about conservation and the wetlands before you start tossing accusations around and make yourself come off as more of a fucktard than the rest of people on youtube.
Let's see, they could have spent thousands of hours with hundreds of trucks, bulldozers, and people walking around for months or blow it up and be done with it.
As a matter of fact the levees were excavated prior to the blasting. However it would've been impossible and downright dangerous to completely remove the levees this way.
As for worries about pollution from the explosives, the only remnants of the blast would've been quickly dissipated fumes (and fewer than would've been created had they dug the whole thing out with fuel burning equipment).
To the best of my knowledge, no birds were killed due to the blast.
They all flew off when the blast happened and were back sitting happy on the newly flooding area within an hour.
Some small rodents may have died due to the overpressure, but the area flooded far too slowly to drown anything, they were all able to run out.
All in all it was a great job to work on (I'm a member of the crew that dealt with the explosives) and quite an interesting way to go about nature conservation.
How fantastic, we have an expert commenting on this video! I'm curious acumar, what about this procedure do you know that they don't know and why will it not work?
Well, I suppose it was overly pessimistic comment, but having lived in Louisiana where gobs of money are thrown around idiotically, and the meaning of the word FUTILE is unrecognized, you kinda tend to get this way. However, it may not be like this in Oregon.
People are so stupid. "Fixin" nature so they can restore the "natural balance". Funny thing is... the vast majority of money for wet land preservation comes from Ducks Unlimited. Why? So they can have more land to go and shoot ducks. And the dumbass hippies go along for the ride. All I see is a bunch of ppl who need to be kicked out of the gene pool, watching a big ass bird/ fish cull taking place.
Wow. You people can somehow find a way to bring Bush and Iraq into everything. I hate Bush and was against the Iraq war, but the whiny trolling about it on nonrelevant message boards is irritating.
All you folks complaining about the explosion, would also no doubt complain about the high cost of "waterway enhancement, dyke placement and controlled flooding". The explosion I'm sure limited truck traffic, road building, silt relocation and an enormous ammnt of other impacts to the environment. BTW did you see the ducks fly off........ oh yeah and the boggy wetland that will result will greatly increase the whole wetland population.
Trust Americans to do "conservation" by blowing things up with total disregard for the welfare of animals already there.
Why not do a gradual work programme of waterway enhancement, dyke placement and controlled flooding like any other civilised country?
There is another group who try to impose their will using explosives. They did a pretty good job of it in September 2001. Guess you guys are not that different to them.

I live 2 miles from this spot, the paper here last year (this was not recent) reported 3 birds bodies caused 2 spectators injuries (one young girl lost an eye due to a piece of bird bone that became logged in her eye from the explosion) and that 168 birds were found floating in the run off streams, 6 of which were concidered "endangered".
But there was truly one thing Good to come of all this, a Chinese food restaurant suddenly had a sale on "chicken" fingers the next day, I'm not joking!
That is funny about the chicken on sale. The loss of a child's eye is heart breaking. If that parent had the child watching I feel for the parent. That's a lot of weight to carry knowing you endangered your child and she lost an eye.

wow a nick name given to a person by peers based on a me being 6'4'' can be confused with a oversized ego. the ignorance is oozing off of you like nuclear waste do your self a favor watch some news for a week read many articles and then maybe you can tell me something that isnt a load of B.S. i really dont care for your opinion but you have the right to speak it....... just please dont be a tool... read and dont be blind and led to the slaughter
No, we just dug it up, depleted it--making it a source of carcinogenic radiation--and then used our toxic waste to make shell tips, and then proceeded to bomb other countries with them, such that in Iraq, for example, every human and non-human animal receives the radioactive equivalent of three chest x-rays a day and birth defect rates have more than tripled since the start of the war.
So,our culture is sweet! Not the least bit to blame for those atrocities, since that uranium is all-natural.
When did we nuke Iraq. did i miss something or are you just a dumbass spreading lies. oh wait thats the one. and by the way look through history find the person he figured out what radiation was and where SHE was. you really must be dumb we are to blame for iraq radition problem THEY killed the man responsible already they had him swinging in the wind by his neck. uranium is all natural you have to mine it to get it go read a book if your to lazy to do that then shut up
'Do yourself a favor and google "depleted uranium iraq birth defects."'
Oh. You're one of the thousands of idiots who doesn't know what "depleted" means and thinks that all radioactive material makes people into Superman and The Incredible Hulk. Do yourself a favor: Spend $150 and take Biochemistry 101 at your community college.
only thing they should of done different was they could of shot off a couple loud bangs to scare off the birds before blowing it up and maybe killing them.
As far as I know.....dams are not natural. As far as I know dams have made salmon virtually extinct. That's how explosives can/will and should be used to help the natural world.
Now. Re-read the comments and be proud at civilized human intelligence.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow salmon.... really thats interesting... who gives a shit. all you tree huggers every do is cry piss and moan... they are animals we are people we have highly developed brains they do not. thats why we were clothes and drive cars and they swim walk or run in the woods. its the fucking life cycle of the world they die we live, so whatever.
LimeTheSlime said: "why didn't they put up signs so the birds would know what the fuck was going on?
dumbass inconsiderate pricks.
those birds could have been warned." Your right, next time the "inconsiderate picks" could hold a safety meeting with the head bird, so he could warn all the other birds. Problem is, what happen if a foreign bird, like a European Kumguzer, flies into the blast area and he can speak or read English... so the you can see why signs were useless!
First of all if it is conservation...Why was it done in such an explosive form. Also, if it is truly an effort to protect Natural Wetlands or anything else, how come, when the beautiful birds which were in the vicinity were not shooed off with some noise first and then the explosives used. Also, I don't really see this whole use of explosives to make an area a natural wetland to be some Nature Conservancy& Is anOXYMORON.Explosives& Nature do not go hand in hand, while injuring birds/wildlife.
They are exploding levees so the area is once again innundated with nutrient-filled seawater and can once again be a part of the local wetlands ecosystem. It could not do this with the levees in place, and there was no other feasible means to remove them. Note, they are exploding a HUMAN artifice. It's like blowing up some buildings so nature can reclaim an area.
Presumably they recently purchased a sealed off area of land formerly used for commercial purposes, which is why it was sealed off from tidal flow. They are exploding levees so the area is once again innundated with nutrient-filled seawater and can once again be a part of the local wetlands ecosystem. It could not do this with the levees in place.
human efforts and progress in conservation always comes with some sort of negative impact. making a small impact to help the bigger picture is better than not doing anything at all. saving the last great places on earth is a very overwhelming task.

do you know how many of those birds there probably are? so what if a few died they'll just breed and make 1000 more.

Dear bigrich59
Yes you are obviously one with a highly developed brain. My mistake. What was I thinking? Plutonium and depleted uranium are so smart of us to invent. Besides, who needs a healthy landbase to live on (translation- who needs a planet to live on.)?
In your profile you describe yourself with these traits:
-Respect
-Honor
-Loyalty
-Freindship
-Knowledge
Yeah. You definitely showed all of those in yer post.

Depleted Uranium is a derivative of a natural material, we did not "Invent" it.
ssgtakeo 3 years ago
No, we just dug it up, depleted it--making it a source of carcinogenic radiation--and then used our toxic waste to make shell tips, and then proceeded to bomb other countries with them, such that in Iraq, for example, every human and non-human animal receives the radioactive equivalent of three chest x-rays a day and birth defect rates have more than tripled since the start of the war.
So,our culture is sweet! Not the least bit to blame for those atrocities, since that uranium is all-natural.
QuinnEGorges 3 years ago
When did we nuke Iraq. did i miss something or are you just a dumbass spreading lies. oh wait thats the one. and by the way look through history find the person he figured out what radiation was and where SHE was. you really must be dumb we are to blame for iraq radition problem THEY killed the man responsible already they had him swinging in the wind by his neck. uranium is all natural you have to mine it to get it go read a book if your to lazy to do that then shut up

Do yourself a favor and google "depleted uranium iraq birth defects."

Oh. You're one of the thousands of idiots who doesn't know what "depleted" means and thinks that all radioactive material makes people into Superman and The Incredible Hulk. Do yourself a favor: Spend $150 and take Biochemistry 101 at your community college.

As far as I know.....dams are not natural. As far as I know dams have made salmon virtually extinct. That's how explosives can/will and should be used to help the natural world.
Now. Re-read the comments and be proud at civilized human intelligence.

dumbass inconsiderate pricks.
those birds could have been warned." Your right, next time the "inconsiderate picks" could hold a safety meeting with the head bird, so he could warn all the other birds. Problem is, what happen if a foreign bird, like a European Kumguzer, flies into the blast area and he can speak or read English... so the you can see why signs were useless!

Poor birds. Come on, why didn't they do something to avoid killing some birds.
yohaku 3 years ago
First of all if it is conservation...Why was it done in such an explosive form. Also, if it is truly an effort to protect Natural Wetlands or anything else, how come, when the beautiful birds which were in the vicinity were not shooed off with some noise first and then the explosives used. Also, I don't really see this whole use of explosives to make an area a natural wetland to be some Nature Conservancy& Is anOXYMORON.Explosives& Nature do not go hand in hand, while injuring birds/wildlife.
MsSVasan 3 years ago
They are exploding levees so the area is once again innundated with nutrient-filled seawater and can once again be a part of the local wetlands ecosystem. It could not do this with the levees in place, and there was no other feasible means to remove them. Note, they are exploding a HUMAN artifice. It's like blowing up some buildings so nature can reclaim an area.

went off and the birds from the lake started flying off

Presumably they recently purchased a sealed off area of land formerly used for commercial purposes, which is why it was sealed off from tidal flow. They are exploding levees so the area is once again innundated with nutrient-filled seawater and can once again be a part of the local wetlands ecosystem. It could not do this with the levees in place.
singedrac 3 years ago
human efforts and progress in conservation always comes with some sort of negative impact. making a small impact to help the bigger picture is better than not doing anything at all. saving the last great places on earth is a very overwhelming task.
