DEAR News Of The Area,
RESTRICTING powered vessel access to and speeds in swimming areas is an excellent move that will ensure much higher levels of safety for swimmers.
Unfortunately marine life such as dolphins and turtles further offshore will still have to run the gauntlet of high speed lethal machines.
The Port Stephens community has long called for speed limits on the waterway which is a Marine Park hosting a rich array of dolphins, birds and turtles some of which are injured and killed by hoons on jet skis and other high speed motor vessels.
