No-wake, 500' from shore and less than 20' deep?
It is easy to pick on the ballast boats because they produce a highly eroding wake, but all wake is a problem. A recent study of water quality in the Moultonboro Bay area recommends that no wake zones should be within 500 ft of the shoreline and in areas under 20 ft deep. That's one of several recommendations to stop water quality from degrading and gain 5% improvement. It is a scientific recommendation, not a political one. The cure is too radical to be accepted, so we're faced with increasing algae and cyanobacteria blooms and lower water clarity. Will we compromise by regulating high-wake boating? Probably not.
