Individual actions can make a difference. If you live in a lake watershed and care about protecting the lakes in your area, get involved:
- Join your local lake association, or if there isn't one,
- Help form a lake association.
- Volunteer to serve on the local planning board.
- Support responsible lake protection legislation.
- Volunteer to serve with the Board of your County Conservation District.
Finally, if you see blatant violations of the law, report them to the local code enforcement officer or to your state environmental agency. The laws are there to protect the lake, but to be effective, they must be enforced.
