But the geese are no reason to stop pushing against fertilizer, septic, and other issues. One problem is that there are different government bodies that handle each of them. Septic are typically town rules, fertilizer currently state, I'm pretty sure Canadian Geese are subject to an international treaty. We all have to fight all these threats at once

I think everyone agrees that there are several contributing factors to the lake quality. We can’t ignore any of them in favor of one. The talking has to stop and action has to begin.
