According to the study we conducted at the request of Transport Canada, regardless of the vessel, when its speed is greater than 10 kilometres an hour, it will generate a wave over a distance of 100 metres. At this distance from the shoreline, a wave can cause shoreline degradation and promote the erosion of riparian lands. In addition, the turbulence caused by the wave will increase turbidity by stirring up bottom sediments.
