Independent Canvasinq from the Water Patrol on this subject <br />2023= This was the first year and our records did not differentiate between quiet waters and 300' violations. But we did not write <br />any citations. We only educated. <br />2024 <br />• 1 arrest (PWC) <br />• 5 citations (PWC) <br />• 56 verbal warnings (PWC) <br />• 111 verbal warnings (Watercraft - all types, not just wake boats) we don't document the type of boat on verbal warnings <br />2025 <br />• 1 arrest (PWC) <br />• 3 citations (PWC) <br />• 48 verbal warnings (PWC) <br />• 34 verbal warnings (Watercraft - all types, not just wake boats) we don't document the type of boat on verbal warnings <br />As you can see, we don't see an issue with wake boats surfing close to shore. We wrote ZERO -citations for this. I don't have the <br />data on type of boat for verbal warnings, but I can tell you that the problem is not wake boats and surfing too close to shore. The <br />problem is PWC's, rental boats and pleasure boats cruising the shoreline. <br />As far as a depth limit, that would be almost impossible for us to enforce. It would be a litigation nightmare as well. <br />Submitted by LMCD Rep Rich Anderson <br />Feb 9, 202f <br />Page 2 of ;9 <br />
