Who has the authority to run someone out of a canal , bayou or any body of water?
Could it possibly be someone taking questionable authority in their own hands without legal justification. How do you know?

Do Game Wardens patrol these areas for the land owners or lease holders ?
Do Sherriff Deputies have nothing more important to do with all the crime on the streets ?
That's the only authorities out there other than the Coast Gaurd...

I mean who with authority really cares enough to justify their salary that's being paid by taxpayers by the way , to run the same taxpayers out of a fishing hole?

Putting gates up involves putting pilings down that requires permits.
Damming a canal I'm sure is another whole issue that I'm sure takes an act of congress.
So how do you know that a gate on a canal is legal and justified?

There are way more questions out there and way too few answers. At least answers from someone that has the power and authority to justify a legal answer to this issue.

So they are to turn a blind eye to the crimes being committed on the water? Is this because you are white and own a glitter boat?

Landowner, Sheriff's Dept., and WLF

If there are reports of trespassing, yes.

Same importance as calling in someone for trespassing on any other piece of property.

More than that and you either or being obtuse or ignorant to the situation.

I don't think they are driving piles 10ft into the ground, more so about like putting up a gate at a pasture.

Go look up the navigable waterways and verify for yourself if you question it.

There is plenty of information to look up if it's that big of a concern or question there is law written on the matter and prior cases.
