Something that doesn't get mentioned much but what considerable scientific studies have shown is the damage to estuaries and salt ponds caused by recreational boating. It's kind of politically incorrect to tell the boating industry, waterfront homeowners with docks, and boating enthusiasts that the constant churning of coastal rivers and ponds is seriously damaging the biology of the ecosystem, but the studies show it and the furthur south you go like Florida where the boating season is long, the problems become even more pronounced.
