The alternative, suggested in the Scott Fields essay, is extremely draconian.
Fields quotes environmentalists who would prefer to see each individual boat
declared a "point source" for air and water pollution. If such a measure were
ever enacted, each pleasure boat would be individually required to obtain a
series of permits from the EPA for specific, common activities underway. The
expense and hassles associated with individual permitting and compliance
reporting to the EPA could potentially put an end to pleasure boating as we
know it.

Be very, very afraid. These people are dangerous, creative and well
funded. They also hate boats and boaters. We need to polish our
image, chuck the bad apples, and the marine trades who service them.
We also need to band together to form an effective political and legal
advocacy group.
