No disrespect intended, but it can't be coincidental that ALL those special areas happen to be adjacent to high end real estate. The appearance that the most wealthy property owners have influenced the passage of legislation that regulates ONLY those specific areas-in a state with thousands of miles of shore line and affects only, as you pointed out, about 1% of the total anchorage available- is what gives that appearance. If it quacks like a duck....
