Default Amount of junk floating around out there

Once the wind and wave action picks up, it will be hard to see this stuff. Keep your eyes open and slow down . . . unless you don't mind paying out the big bucks for a new prop!
Who do you call to tow or pick up large trees or docks that are floating and are definately a safety hazard. Some may land on your property and it may cost quite a bit to haul them off.
Also, I feel we are going to lose a lot of Loon nests this year as the water is the highest I have seen it since 1998.
