I think it would take quite a while for the river to find its own path. For commerce, we need the river to be accessible and we need the ports.

It would make sense to phase out the port and build up the ports at Mobile and Houston since the chance of a storm hitting both of them that far apart is miniscule. No more putting all our eggs in one basket. It's not good for homeland security either.
