My suggestion would be to set zones on the lake, at area where there are very wide water expanses, for these boats to operate and get them out of smaller coves where waves are destroying the shore land. I think that DES has a role...a big role... here if their goal is to fully protect the shore front lands from erosion. As a state agency, I know that state agencies talk to each other. The silt and land is being washed into the lake unabated. And yes, some trees are loosing their footings from erosion. DES certainly has a role here and it can be significant. Just my opinion.
All of your points have merit and we within state agencies do communicate. Please understand that what you are suggesting requires modification to the jurisdictions and legal authorities granted to the agencies you've mentioned. These are things that can only come through legislative action.
