Ridiculous "No Wake" Declaration

I was out for the first time this weekend. I would say that I saw about 75% of the boats were observing the NWZ within the 600 ft zone, however I think this was making it worse rather than better because the increasing and decreasing of power created larger wakes. Another observation is the new NWZ between Eagle & Governor's Island. It's impossible to maintain any accurate steerage going through this zone because of all the large wakes being crated on either end of this area. Those properties onshore are going to see greater erosion and wake damage than ever before.
