Where to report seaplanes breaking the law?

It was only after starting this thread that I found the Bureau of Marine Patrol link stating that seaplanes were prohibited. I have no idea when between 2003, when seaplanes were allowed to land here, and now, when they aren't, that the decision to ban them was made.

However, I do frequently boat on the lake, and if I knew that seaplanes might land here, I would probably have a different approach to where I go on the lake (sailboat, kayak, etc.) Right now, knowing that seaplanes aren't allowed, I go everywhere on the lake, but am much more ... concerned ... now when going in the area where the seaplane landed.

Just a guess but I bet most pilots would perhaps circle around for a second approach if a Kayak or boat was in the way?? When was the last time a seaplace ran over a boat? Sounds like a new law is needed....I would also guess you have a better chance of being hit by lightning than a seaplane....
