It absolutely ruins the day for the majority of people who are trying to enjoy the splendors of Cape Cod. They are noisy and a public nuisance. The public suffers from the incessant noise and distraction of persistent use. They generate disturbing levels of noise that destroy any opportunity to enjoy the sounds of nature. Their noise has an equally negative impact on wildlife including shorebirds in their feeding and nesting areas.
Wildlife flees the area when personal watercraft comes into the scene.
Mr. Durand, these are not conventional watercraft. They are marketed and used as 'thrill craft,' consequently the behavior of many that use them is incompatible with the fragile resource areas that are the subject of the proposed bans. I would certainly like to see them banned from the waters of Cape Cod. Thank you for considering my views. I look forward to your response as this issue moves forward.
