I love to try all watersports that involve being pulled behind a boat including, waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, wakeskating, barefoot waterskiing, trick skiing, tubing, and disking. All of these activities have a similar impact on the lake because of the boat that is pulling me, so I will talk about them from the general term of wakeboarding because it is my favorite of the activities. The speedboats used for wakeboarding emit hydrocarbons into the lake, the ground water, and the atmosphere (“Water skiing”). Gases and particulates escape from the engine and make their way into the lake water. Wakeboarding boats can also release potentially toxic heavy metals into the water (“Water skiing”). These chemical finds their way into fish swimming in the water and cause some fish to be dangerous to eat. Fish such as Bass, Walleye, and Northern Pikes in Whitefish Lake have unsafe levels of mercury in their tissue due to these chemicals (“Fisheries”). The emission of chemicals, gases, and metals by boats hurt the water and air supply around the
