Haha, trying to clean up the whole gulf coast? I recall a huge oil company trying to just clean up their own spillage not long ago. Super expensive and not very successful.

Anyways, I think your dollars would reach further if you rather spent them on artificially extending Galveston further into the ocean, into the blue water, than trying to filter the Mississippi river

Easier said than done. Everything built along the coast is "designed with hurricanes in mind" and yet there is still devastation when a hurricane strikes.

The devastation happens only on the designs/areas that aren't reinforced properly.
