There is actually considerably less crime in the basin than in the trailer park onshore from it. In fact, the noise issue in the basin is trumped up. You can go into the basin at 8:00/pm and it is dead silent. The water quality issue has already been solved by a grant for pump out service.as far as trash is concerned, much of the trash is left by homeless people who either live on the jetty and the Boca chica causeway. Some of the trash also origonates from the campground along the waters edge. I know this because I have witnessed all of the above first hand. This is simply another attempt for government to gleen more cash from we the sheeple.
There has been no discussion of services that the county should provide, such as sherrif patrols and police protection on the water. Also, what responsibility does the county have should a mooring fail? If there is any rental fee involved, the boat owner would have cause of action against the county.
