I disagree. I think taking pictures is an excellent tactic.
1} The mere presence/sight of the camera will cause most people to think about and correct their actions.
2} Giving thought to foreground (e.g. get some of your own boat in the frame), I believe it’s not a problem to discern a rough distance estimate from a photo. If you’re trying to show someone is 100ft away, maybe not. But if someone is really in violation, say 50ft, a photo would clearly show they are nowhere near 150ft.
