How detrimental is power boating (ie skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing) to smaller bodies of water?

A lake in my county is being studied as to whether it is a canidate for an ‘ecozone’ in which a cetain section of the body of water would be designated for only boats power by electric motors or less. This would encompass maybe 5% or less of the entire body of water. It is a free country and pleasure boaters have as much right to be on the water as everyone else. But it is frustrating to see an otherwise nice lake be churned into slop.
