Share Your Concerns About Wakes on the Bay
Last year GBA joined forces with Safe Quiet Lakes, FOCA and other concerned lake associations to form the Safe Wakes Coalition to tackle the growing issue of destructive wakes on our lakes.
Large wakes from boats can cause:
- Shoreline erosion and damage
- Safety concerns for boaters and shoreline residents
- Habitat destruction for wildlife
- Turbidity and water quality concerns
The coalition is working towards province-wide regulations to mitigate these impacts. To make our case, we need your input! Share your experiences and concerns about wakes on our lakes:
- Have you seen damage to your shoreline or dock?
- Have you witnessed safety issues or near-misses?
- Are you concerned about the impact on local wildlife?
Let us know by emailing us at boating@gba.flywheelstaging.com. Share your stories, and even better any photos or videos of wakes or the damage they cause.
