Jet skis - we need to do something

I'm a resident of Ettalong Beach and there is a huge issue here with jet skis.

It's like we've been invaded.

We have areas in Ettalong Beach completely taken over by 30-40 people who set up adjoining marquees and settle in for the day with their jet skis.

The worst thing is they ride close to where families are swimming and don't seem to obey any speed signs.

They have blatant disregard for others.

Even though maritime police were out, it made absolutely zero difference.

It seems that these people come from areas where they can't use their jet skis and take over the beach here.

With that many jet skis, the pollution going into the water would have to be significant.

They make it really unpleasant for other people who live here or who have spent a lot of money to bring their families for a beach holiday.

Other locals have been complaining for years and nothing is being done.

We need to do something.
