As to the voting, the results are suspect. Only votes by New Hampshire residents should count, and
not those from New York and points west. It's
our lakes that are affected.
DES is likely to frown on this "solution"—due to
leaching.
A
gal in Kenya devised a process to make a large brick that is made of local sand and then bonded together with recycled plastic.
Said to be "stronger than concrete", it's possible to cure two problems with one solution.
But what I've seen, is that the lake water—often driven by two or more converging wakes—surges up and behind the boulders, picking-off larger and larger grains of rocky debris. The boulders slide down, letting more soil approach the water.
That soil then becomes the latest particles to slide down, and a replacement boulder falls again. That's why water
clarity suffers on weekends.
(And clarity affects water temperature).
While it
looks like boulders are holding the soil back, in reality, the lake's water level is quite high
behind the "apparent" waterline.
In sailboats, there's a term called "apparent wind", and is shown by a ribbon placed to show it. But that ribbon isn't showing the actual direction of the wind!
Limiting wakeboats to the Broads isn't the answer, either.
