Yeah I bet. I was working on a boat at Millstone several years back and a guy was there diving around the docks looking for goodies. He had found an expensive watch and a box of Snap-on tools the day before, he said the bottom was covered with old batterys, lawn chairs, outboard cowlings, TV antennas and everything you could imagine.

The lake of the ozarks is possibly the best example of the degredation of the commons. I would say its a safe bet it looks like a giant trash heap or salvage yard for man made waste on the lake bottom. Its amazing it hasn't been clasifed as a federal Superfund site with all the heavy metals leaching into the ecosystem. Its a shame the rivers and land beneath it are destroyed forever. Probably would have been similar to or better than the ozark national scenic riverways. Arguably some of the most scenic and valuable land of Missouri and of the midwest ruined for only 50 years of fun with inefficient gas and oil powered sports. Hope there is a underlying valuable lesson to be learned for future generations
