This is not rocket science! Yes boaters do some damage which is temporary. I live on a golf course east of US1. I watch the maintenance people on a regular basis spray for weed a drainage ditch on one side of the course. Water is alwways running in this ditch/creek. The sides of the ditch are completely barren of plant life. There is NOTHING growing on the sides of the ditch, NOTHING. This ditch emptys into the Indian River. The Government uses chemicals for weed control in the drainage canals. We wonder why the Sea Grass is dissapearing? What will the manatees eat? What will be the quality of what they do eat? Where will the shrimp and fish spawn if there is no grass? Would you drink the water out of this chemical soup? How much herbicides can the IR take? Boaters may kill a line across a grass bed when they run aground. herbicides kill the whole grass bed.
