While warning signs will probably need to be included, these folks may feel they have some rights because they've done this before. The rental owners may not actually be making it clear to their tenants that dockage is not included and may actually be encouraging them, so they can claim adverse posseson (squatters' rights). For that reason I'd believe that each violator should also be addressed individually so they will know that yes "this means you."
Some people dont mind face-to-face interaction and may prefer to start off in a friendlier manner than I suggested above. Others may desire to avoid the risk of a confrontation that might escalate.
I'm sure it would be annoying to have to fence and gate your property just to deter a few seasonal residents.
Good luck!
