Tips 176
You & The Environment
Owning and riding a PWC can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect nature.
When you show respect for the waterways,
wildlife, and other people, you also help
preserve the PWC sport.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally-responsible PWC owner.
•
Ride in Approved Areas. Ride responsibly
only in areas approved for PWC. Avoid
shoreline homes, wildlife areas, other boats,
and swimmers.
•
Keep the Noise Down. Loud personal
watercraft can be offensive. Ride as quietly
as possible. Don’t modify the muffler or any
other part of your air intake and exhaust
systems. Such modifications not only
increase noise, they also reduce engine
performance and may be illegal.
•
Refuel Carefully. If you pump gasoline at a
dock, take care not to spill. Gasoline in the
water can poison wildlife and people. If you
spill gasoline, immediately wipe it up with a
rag and dispose of it properly. A little
attention on your part can do a lot to help
preserve the environment and ensure that
you
’
ll have places to ride your PWC in the
future.
•
Choose Sensible Cleaners. Use a
biodegradable detergent when you wash
your PWC. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners
that contain chloroflurocarbons (CFCs)
which damage the atmosphere’s protective
ozone layer. Don’t throw cleaning solvents
away; see the following guidelines for
proper disposal.
