Public Trust Doctrine and Lakes

After hearing a discussion about Public Trust Doctrine in the Vilas County Lake Association meeting, I had been rolling the concept around in my mind. I spent the first 20 minutes talking about this doctrine in my ethics class. Since the class was in a circle, it was easy to just imagine that we were lakeowners. I was amazed at how easy it was for people to discuss the conflicts that might emerge between different conceptions of social ethics: property rights, utilitarian ethics, duties, and virtue ethics,

I wondered if it would be possible to develop a board game around this idea? You would have cards for different ethical stances, different situations (person A wants to have green lawn down to the water-person B wants to build a condo project, etc)

You would have a point system for the health of the lake, for property values, for natural aesthetic value, etc.

I am thinking of that interesting social science experiment where people take money out of a bowl, but if they cooperate, they get more money...etc.

This game could be set up at Lake association events, schools, etc.
