P-06-1213 Ban leisure use of Seadoo/jet ski in Cymru. Except in strictly controlled designated areas
This
petition was submitted by Richard Jenkins, having collected a total of 1,432
signatures.
Text of Petition:
Our wildlife and their
habitats are already under savage attack from creeping civilisation, resource
exploitation, pollution and climate change. To allow the uncontrolled use of
these noisy, dangerous, polluting leisure vehicles, to add to that damage is
irresponsible! They offer no other service to mankind other than a fleeting
spasm of excitement. This is both wasteful and irresponsible.
Additional Information:
There are daily recorded
and unrecorded occurrences of disturbance, aggression and harm to both other
sea users and wildlife. Many instances of physical harm and even death to both
animals and humans. The recreational use of these dangerous high powered
vehicle is almost completely uncontrolled. They must be banned from all areas
excepting possible specific small areas set aside for these selfish people to
damage themselves alone. This may prove too difficult. In that case ban them
completely from Cymru.
