Please join 30 Mile, Maine Lakes, and many others in supporting LD 693, a bill that aims to protect water quality, wildlife, and safety through common sense regulations for large wake-producing activities.
This bill was proposed by the Maine Boating Impacts Coalition, a group of organizations and individuals concerned about the damage and danger they have seen from large wakes, who want a solution that will allow safe boating, including wake boating, on Maine’s waters.
This policy solution will:
- Reduce wake-caused erosion of fragile lake shorelines
- Keep lake water clean by reducing sediment disturbance in shallow water and close to shore
- Protect lakeside and shallow habitat for nesting loons, fish and other species
- Ensure safe waters close to shore for families, swimmers, and other boaters
- Reduce damage to personal property like docks and moored boats
- Keep wake boat activities in deeper water where they perform the best
Please speak up in support of LD 693 at the upcoming public hearing.
Wednesday, March 22, at 1:00 p.m.
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee
Room 206 of the Cross Office building
