Tom Scott has a great video[0] about a similar attempt to dam the San Francisco Bay that got a lot closer to actually happening. So see if it was practical, the US Army Corps of Engineering built a giant scale model of the SF bay and put a dam on it to see what would happen.

Awesome. It looks like the scale model discussed in the video is free to visit at the Bay Model Visitor Center in Sausilito.
