Maureen Healey, Executive Director of the Personal Watercraft Industry Association, recently responded to a San Jose Mercury news article regarding the proposed ban on personal watercraft (PWC) in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a debate that pits tow-in surfers against environmentalists and other surfers opposed to the use of PWC at surf breaks.
Public hearings have ended on the proposed law banning PWC, and now National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials are considering and finalizing a plan due this coming spring and then sent to the U.S. Congress.
Whether for or against the ban, or in favor of a reasonable compromise, you still have the opportunity to make your views known to NOAA and to your congressional representatives in the House and the Senate. Send an email or a letter to have your concerns heard.
