oh damn. You need a barrier along the edge of the water if you are allowed to put one. Even a simple stake with screen will make them not want to go through the trouble to sunbathe. When I was living out in the Everglades there was a canal behind my house and a huge levy which kept most of them out, however I then found a few right up on the levy and decided to fence along the back.

I grew up in south florida and much of those years out in the Everglades where are are plenty of fish, however I've seen dogs pulled off banks and airboats. People are so stupid they let their dogs swim around and thats a bad idea. gators love dogs, cats and small children.
