Abstract:The increasing number of small boats has raised concerns about their effects on the environment, particularly their waves. Bank erosion is one of the foremost concerns of boat waves but disruption of habitat, resuspension of bottom sediments, and damage to aquatic plants are other areas of concern. A large programme of field measurement of boat waves was conducted on Johnson Lake in Alaska to evaluate boats typically used on the Kenai River. The boat wave study compared wave characteristics of four boats under… Show more

“…This result differs from much of the literature, which tends to emphasize the environmental impacts of motorboat related erosion (e.g. Dorava, 2001;Maynord, 2005;Parnell, 2001), and not the social and economic implications of shoreline property loss due to erosion. While literature on property loss via erosion exists about landslides, beach front properties and wave-caused erosion (e.g.…”

“…were to be introduced as an attempt to minimize boat-caused waves, this could help to reduce shoreline erosion Beachler & Hill, 2003;Dorava & Moore, 1997;Maynord, 2005), and might also serve to reduce related local concerns and worries. This will be discussed in greater detail in Chapter 5.…”

“…Many erosion-related motorboat studies focus on experimental boat wake-induced erosion impacts on wildlife or the environment along banks uninhabited by humans (e.g. Bauer, et al, 2002;Dorava, 2001;Maynord, 2005). In addition, many such studies use technologies that are expensive and unavailable to most of the developing world (Altbach, 2004).…”

“…Potential erosion increases with speeds from idle (0-3 mph or 0-5 km/hour), to a slow speed (5-7 mph or 8-11 km/hour), and then to a medium or plowing speed20 (10-20 mph or 16-32 km/hour), but this is in fact where the maximum displacement of water occurs, before all higher speeds. In other words, it is at this medium speed where the greatest waves are produced, causing the greatest potential for shoreline erosion Maynord, 2005). The speed-erosion equation or relationship changes from this point onwards, as speed continues to increase the potential of shoreline erosion decreases.…”
