Default Anyone familiar with maritime law?

I just remembered what one lady down in Beaufort, SC, said to

the
newspaper when they were discussing a new marina going into a

creek
near her home. She was opposed to them installing "a floating

trailer
park" in the creek to spoil her view. That's what property

owners
think of your boats......"floating trailer parks".


There was also a case on Hilton Head where someone was fishing in
a creek off someone's land and the lady disliked them spoiling
the view that her state rep. daughter tried to get a law passed
about restricting the waters to a distance (I can't remember the
exact amount, something like 300 yards)of private property. Then
we have the problem that there are very few creeks that are wider
than that. It didn't pass because it ended up being a federal
jurisdiction. Btw, the daughter is no longer in public office.
