MITIGATION STRATEGIES
PMIL would also form coalitions with local
environmental groups that share our concerns about
mitigating threats to our lakes. Such groups as: Tip of the
Mitt Watershed Council, Torch Lake Protection Alliance,
Torch Elk-Skegemog Alliance, and the Grass River Natural
Area are examples of citizen groups protecting the rivers
and lakes in Michigan
In some communities both in Europe and the United
States, local governments have produced legislation that
restricts the kinds of boats that can be used on their
waterways. Gas/diesel recreational boats are forbidden in
order to reduce noise and hydrocarbon pollution. Beside
electric boats, there are many kinds of vessels that are
exempt from these restrictions – i.e. sailboats, paddle
boats, kayaks, etc. These environmental policies are
farther along in Europe, but it is reasonable to believe that
the United States will begin to create restrictions on
recreational boating to reduce pollution. There are also
electric boat manufacturers producing larger vessels such
as ferry boats and commercial fishing boats to reduce
pollution in large bodies of water.
