Re: Great Land / Trail Use Video
Another point made in the video is to get everyone to think and reconsider their perceptions of OHV and its RELATIVE impact on the environment.
The issue with the Marina and docks is that the gov't (da Man) spends big money to invest in public infrastructure to service a small group of boat owners while discrimanating against another small group that wants to use trails which cost much less to develop and maintain.
Think about all the impact constructing a marina has on a remote lake:
1) Construction of a 2 lane paved road
2) Construction of a Boat Ramp
3) Paved Parking and turnaround area
4) Restroom facilities
5) Public Beach
6) Dredging the lake or river to make marina approach naviagable
7) Water pollution from 2 stroke engines
8) Noise pollution from Speed Boats and Jet Skis
9) Large number of visitors by car to the marina/beach
10)Trash removal, Litter
11) Attract animals (bears, racoons) to scavange trash
