Boaters concerned about floating debris at Lake Pleasant

Lake Pleasant is dealing with a pretty disgusting-looking problem – huge floating patches of debris collecting near the marinas and boat launches.

Poor Poor boaters! I mean who cares about the environment. Let's make sure these boaters get to use their boats.

Quit complaining and leave the debris alone. Leave the lake too

[OldSlow]

If boaters are so conserned, why dont those boaters make an effort to clean it up.

But never concerned about the fuel and oil you can see on the banks sitting in the water.

make mulch out ofthe driftwood/fire debris and put it on municipal landscaping, orchards etc
change perception of it from trash, which some of it no doubt is, to a useable resource! Propane tanks can be recycled too!

[dangermouse]

get some booms to isolate it and
collect the crap with nets, pull it out

First there's not enough water in the lake now there's too much water in the lake and people are whining about crap floating around.

All that stuff will settle eventually you'll be fine quit whining.

You live in a desert! That's an Artificial Lake, that was expanded by 700 percent without removing a single Saguaro Cactus or bush. You. Live. In a Desert!

My old man threw me in that lake when I was 5 and said swim back in the 70's. I swam.
