And, of course, don't build ports and ancillary supporting
infrastructure and industry heavily reliant on such
facilities near those areas either...

We should build the ports inland where they will be safer.

well, if it didn't mean dredging shipping lanes in the delta,
that really isn't a bad idea... there are inland ports on the
Great Lakes, which are connected to the ocean by the
St.Lawrence Seaway.

Except the type of shipping supplying the Gulf Coast oil refineries
can't make it up the St Lawrence...

I actually was meaning the assertion mostly in sarcastic vein...implying
that having ports for ocean-going vessels anywhere near the ocean was
obviously poor planning.

The problem is tha there's a concentration of refineries without substantial
redundancy. But anyway, they still make money from jacking up the price.
