Not really outside of shipping lanes and the general markers and it WAS
on maps. About the only thing they could do differently would be station
marksmen on the areas and try to shoot the Captains that come too close.
One across the bow, as it were.

They don't shoot the captains here on Lake Michigan. All along the
lakeshore at Holland, S. Haven, Ludington- they have a searchlight
tower at the end of the piers to
warn ships about the pier and the shore. Keep on making excuses for
the idiots in charge.
