Ecological pressure on shoreline and surface water in the state are mounting. Overdevelopment, increased run off, climactic changes, regulatory changes, and zoning enforcement are all having a big impact on our lakes and waters. Since seasonal owners steward more than a third of the shoreline in the state, we are the primary stake holders. What environmental changes or pressures are you seeing on your lake, and what action are you taking?

I own a holiday property near Lake Wanaka in New Zealand. I’ve always been really impressed with the local council (QLDC) - they recognise that tourists like coming to the area because of the natural beauty and pollution-free environment.
Growing tourism while protecting the environment is a challenge because they can counteract each other but by involving the local people and property owners in planning issues, they get the support of local people. Local people are aware of how to avoid pollution and they are keen to adopt more environmental protection measures.
