I agree with the effective buffer zone. My cautionary note was intended to enlighten anyone who believed they could extend their "shorefront rights" (LOL) and keep boats away just by putting a swim raft or two out as a deterrent to boat traffic. That, of course, is commandeering part of a public body of water for private interests and it is not allowed.
