All projects like that are done for money or energy first though. We know they all come with possible environmental damage and all they do is try to mitigate it. These projects keep being done and we don't bat an eye.
This is different in that it has environmental improvements as goals. Lower sea levels a bit, enrich local ecosystem, etc. So it's a bit sad that when it comes to projects like there is always paralysis but not when we just want more stuff.

Your average HN comment section would likely fiercely debate the creation of crosswalks, curb cuts and other common sense improvements (though that may be true of the population at large). If the things you felt like dont receive enough attention were available for this level of public scrutiny well, I think you can rest assured it would receive it.
