Default More than coves have the problems

This is not just a cove problem. Part of my shoreline has been pushed back over three feet in the 18 years we've been here. Its located least 300 feet from the typical boat traffic lane, but wake from the large displacement boats still has plenty of punch at that distance. Most of the erosion happens when the lake is flooded, as it is now. The past weekend, boat wake took its toll on the shoreline again. Economically, I can't imagine NH putting limits on boat displacement, even during floods. It would be useful if the DES offered solutions to shoreline owners that would address the problem in the most lake-friendly (and legal) way.
