What to Do about Wakes

Busy Harbor Rough Waters: What to Do about Wakes

The good news is that our harbor is busier and more vibrant than ever. The challenge is the more things move around, the more the water moves around. How best can boat direction and speed, wake attenuation, and design calm the water so that maritime neighbors and shorefront neighbors can flourish? What are the opportunities and barriers to improvements?
