Difference (from prior major revision) (author diff)

Changed: 7c7
The mouth of the river has shifted repeatedly over time. Since a canal was built in the early nineteenth century, the river has been seeking the [Atchafalaya River]? mouth, some sixty miles from New Orleans. The U.S. Army [Corps of Engineers]? maintains a massive system of locks to keep the river in its present course.
