About ten years ago, I had a complaint from a cottage-owner very concerned
because jet-skiers were scaring loons on the lake where he was located.
I talked to biologists in DNR and the Canadian Wildlife Service. They
developed a plan to "educate" the folks in question. As I recall, there are
regulated limits as to speeds and distances when loons are around, but
sometimes, the loons don't know about those rules, so maybe the regs., are
inadequate.
Anyway, I never heard another complaint from the cottage-owner.

Subject: [NatureNS] Questions on Enforcement - Re: Loons on Lakes and Boats
Hi all:
This is an email that I received which is out of my ability to provide
answers. I'm hoping that someone on here can provide me with the answers so
that I can respond to this.
We have at least one pair of loons on Crooked Lake this season and we have
seen one young loon with the pair. We have been wondering about speed
limits on our lake and creating a wake zone for next season. I checked one
website which stated that "There is a general non-posted 10 kph speed limit
within 30 metres (100') from shore in the waters of Ontario, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, rivers and lakes in British Columbia and Nova
Scotia."
I have a few other questions:
1 - Is this your understanding on speed limits, and is this the regulation?
2 - Are you aware if speed limits have been enforced in Nova Scotia?
3 - Have you seen lakes where speed limits are posted in the lake, or at
least near nesting loons?
4 - Who should we approach first, if we want to pursue this direction...
Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS), Department of Natural Resources (DNR),
Municipality of the District of Lunenburg (MODL), police (RCMP) to enact and
enforce?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Sincerely,
James R. Hirtle
LaHave
