No less than 1/2 an hour later, Jetski's came roaring along in the same spot, less than 100 meteres from shore. Given the recent surge in unexplained marine deaths along our coastline, including dolphins, more needs to be done to protect them, especially from the high and unnessessary risk that JetSki's pose.

In January I stayed at Brighton / hove and they really took from the serenity of the beach. I especially noticed it when they stopped and I found myself relieved!! The stressful drone was gone!

Just this weekend I went to bow hill and was on the river skiing and I notices that they were so much more noisy and boystrous (thrashing it and doing stunts etc) even compared to ski boats! Ski boats tend to be for the enjoyment of groups of people too. It really took from the rivers tranquility especially when there is no one out there skiing (as maybe the conditions aren't good at certain times of the day) and then Hoons a jet ski startling me and the duck and water-bird I was watching.

I am interested in what effect these have on the water, fish and nature compared to other vessels.

Noisy boisterous things like this should be better regulated. Perhaps it is a decibel issue (too powerful) or perhaps it requires a code of conduct (but I wouldn't have a clue how to enforce such a thing so maybe it needs to be stronger).

Perhaps they can be confined to areas of low peace value or environmental value or deeper ocean etc.
