Common sense. Other boaters may be taking on or letting off passengers, and your wake (which you are legally responsible for) can cause others to fall into the water unexpectedly and possibly drown. Harbors for boats are usually "no wake" zones, meaning you must not create any kind of waves from your boat moving in the water.
You should watch your wake when operating a boat near other boats or when entering a congested area because the wake may cause personal injury or damage from your wake hitting the other vessels and throwing the people around or equipment. Also, It is common courtesy to stay far enough away from them. It is also important to mind your wake as there may be swimmers nearby, or fisherman who would prefer calmer waters. Furthermore, aside from watching your wake near other boaters, you also need to watch your speed in low wake zones, as seawalls can be damaged by the continual waves pounding against them. The "wake" is the wave left behind as your boat moves forward, its size depends on your speed. In congested areas the wave of the wake causes other boats to move and can make people fall. "Watch your wake" means "reduce your speed" so that you do not endanger people.
