Bonny Putney, LLA Vice President and Shore Sweep Coordinator of the LLA board, has recently brought to light the issue of loose dock floats on Lake Lanier. 💧🌅
In her Shore Sweep recap article, she stated, “I want to use this space to discuss the elephant in the room – why should a small non-profit have to deal with hundreds of loose dock floats in the first place? Why is this such a big issue, and is there any way to stop it? With more than 10,600 private docks, not to mention all the marinas, community docks and others, you are talking about thousands of floats. In the universe of private docks alone, we are looking at around 20,000 floats…”
To continue reading this article explaining the problems that arise with loose dock floats and ways to mitigate this problem, please visit lakelanier.org/2024-shore-sweep-recap/ - it is up to dock owners and dock companies alike to help keep Lake Lanier clean in this way! 💙

Absolutely agree Bonnie. Putting these side-by-side would create a small island. Not good
As sad as it is and judging from the looks of some of the docks on the the water that ALL have permits…. Some owners probably just replace them then eventually push the old ones “out to sea” so that it’s someone else’s problem. Shore sweep will take care of it for free so why should I pay extra expense to have them disposed of properly.
Apple AirTag type tracker registered with the corp with your permit should handle the problem. Owner can locate any missing and take care of their own. Abandoned ones could be tracked by the corp and notify the owner.

Please join us in wishing Glenn Martin a very happy birthday! 🎉
Glenn grew up on Lanier with family including his grandfather G.H. Martin who was one of the founding members of the Lake Lanier Association and his father Nick Martin was awarded the first Jacket of Recognition from LLA for his vital contributions to Shore Sweep. Lake Lanier has played a huge part in his life as an avid bass angler and as the owner of Martin Docks in Gainesville. As the 3rd generation owner of Martin Docks, he has seen almost every inch of Lake Lanier and vast changes to the lake over the past 30 years.

The people who live on Lake Lanier oftentimes have questions regarding the Shoreline Management Plan, a plan created and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who govern the shoreline of Lanier.
Clyde Morris, Vice President and Secretary of the LLA board, recently stated, “For the first time ever, LLA is going to poll all its members for input on changes they want to see in the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP). This is your big chance to have some meaningful input into the Corps’ decision-making on this vital document. The SMP contains the rules that govern whether you can have a dock, what size and configuration and placement you must adhere to for that dock, and many of the details about how you must maintain the dock. But it goes way beyond that…”

Over the next few months, keep an eye out for updates regarding this survey and please refrain from sending your comments or feedback before the survey is released. The survey will allow LLA to capture and present the feedback in an organized manner.
Don’t forget, this survey is member exclusive! To become an LLA member, please visit lakelanier.org - we want your voices to be heard! 💧💙

Fantastic initiative. Look forward to participating!
Go Ron!
Fire alarm on shoreline and good forestry practices should be followed and maintained.. Lake Lanier and too much of feeding mountains are ripe for a CA style 🔥 fire!!
