I think the MP has all they need to stop people for unsafe boating as it is. If there aren't many citations being written for violations, then I am to assume they are not occurring? Obviously, if they don't see the violations, there's nothing they can do about it.

Boat traffic is way down this year everywhere. The weather conditions have made every scarce nice day a zoo. There are some that think the SL is all they need, and everything's fine. The utter irony here is that most people that oppose the SL "numbers", are the ones that say additional enforcement is needed for laws that were on the books before. Since the new law gives the MP greater ability to stop people for violations, I can only believe that they are severely understaffed now. It's already August, and the season winds down in a month or so.
