Default It may not be harassment

The adults and chicks don't always read the signs and stay where they are supposed to. I've had a mother with a chick on her back swim right next to my boat (while stopped) and was able to take plenty of amazing pictures. I didn't think I was harassing them and apparently neither did they. They aren't shy. They will tell you if you are bothering them, and then you can move away. What exactly do the laws say? Are the "keep out" signs a suggestion or are they backed up by law? What about a sign that remains long after the chicks are gone?
