Andy....update....I've been adding tons of riprap rock around the island and east shoreline as well as building a bridge between the mainland and the north island. I planted several waterlillies and aquatic plants around the shelter of the islands (marsh marigolds, arrowhead, iris etc) but the ducks and geese ate the plants shortly thereafter. I will try again next year with wire protect around the waterlillies etc. I will post some pic soon when I get some free time and near completion.
