This practical webinar will be exploring why and how boat traffic is legally managed on lakes and rivers—and what that means for communities, recreation, and water protection. A panel featuring a water- and coastal-law attorney, a boat-traffic enforcement officer, and the director of a public-interest organization that helps people navigate lake and river issues will explain the legal foundations for restrictions, real-world safety and enforcement considerations, and how communities can balance recreation, property rights, and environmental protection. Ideal for lake residents, local officials, lake associations, and anyone interested in fair, effective watercraft management.

Panelists include Terra Bowling from the National Sea Grant Law Center, Jeff Forester from Minnesota Lakes and Rivers Advocates, and Matt Miller, a Conservation Officer with the Marine Unit of the Minnesota DNR.
