We do it to ourselves
Nobody puts up a sign like that unless enough people bitch. Nobody bitches unless they're sufficiently bothered.
I was there last weekend. Apart from the just plain rudeness from people who think they don't need to come off plane until their anchor is in the water, there were: People taking their dog up to shore to take a dump. People smoking up (Their DD must have been underneath taking a nap). Some dude spraying his whole boat with a cleaner and cleaning it in the water (seriously!?!?). A few loud pipes, music, etc.
We're out there to have fun and not be anal, but nobody wants to live near a trailer park. If we can police ourselves a little more, the neighbors will be less likely to do it for us.
On the plus side, the bay is getting a nice chemical slick--which probably cuts down on the bacteria!
