In this concursus proceeding, we are called upon to decide whether alluvion formed near the intersection of a river and a bay is owned by the riparian landowner or by the State. The trial court ruled in favor of the riparian landowner. The Court of Appeal, First Circuit, reversed and ruled in favor of the State. We now affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with our ruling.
