Sorry for the confusion. My point was that people were outraged by the skimmers doing something was not safe, yet have no issue with good Samaritans doing something that is equally unsafe IMHO.
That was my original point.
Since this thread has made a turn in a very good direction, I would like to point out that there was another article posted in the LDS that has more info.

Bergquist said the Meredith Rotary Club does its part to deal with lake litter, hosting a biannual cleanup in the spring.
"We do a biannual cleanup of the whole bay. Basically, we gather up 30 or more people in boats and skim through the lake. We do scuba diving, picking up debris," Bergquist said.
"We try to do as much as we can if not more. We're really there for the community in trying to give back to the community," Bergquist said. "We have a regular time that we go through and do a Meredith Bay Clean-up. It's amazing how much debris we can pull out of there."
The group conducted its most recent cleanup last spring.
Now is not the time to try to remove lingering litter, Bergquist cautioned. He urged the public, even those concerned about remaining debris, to stay off the ice. It's not safe to venture out this late in the season.
