The Surfrider Foundation's Policy on Personal Water Crafts MAKING WAVES, Aug./Sept. 1998 |
On August 8, 1998, the National Board of Directors of the Surfrider Foundation ratified the following policy regarding Personal Water Crafts. The goal of this policy, which includes jet skis, wave riders and sea doos, is to reduce the negative impacts to aquatic ecosystems and human life resulting from petrochemical discharge and high noise impacts from marine two-stroke engines and the unsafe use of personal water crafts. The Surfrider Foundation supports Environmental Protection Agency regulations that would require the use of 4-stroke engines for Personal Water Crafts which reduce petrochemical discharge by up to 97%. |
