I stongly disagree.  We should not all try to share the water.  We should all try to protect the water.  Quiet, human powered, not polluting craft are in no way kindred to those noisy, polluting, high horsepower, internal combustion thrill machines.  If sea kayaking were banned somewhere for good reason like a tortoise nesting area, I would fully support that also.
