Question Mis-Cue—or Planned "Inconvenience"?

If this is another mis-cue by those dam people ( )...
I'll get particularly irked.

I'm generally happy to own an acre of "near-to-nature" lakefront property.

However...

1) When the lake is over-filled, a great deal of forest duff gets "redistributed" along shallow shorelines.

(Once redistributed along the shoreline, some would call this mud—or silt).

2) These become the nutrients that promote algae—the snails that browse on the algae—and thence to the outbreaks of "Duck Itch".

3) With a no-wake rule invoked due to this mis-cue—though still pending—I'd expect that folks living around Lake Winnipesaukee's bays and coves will experience a growth rate increase of milfoil.

4) It's a much-bigger "deal" than having to discipline the speed of over-sized boats—temporarily.

IMHO
