Institute a no wake zone and install floating 5-kt and Turtle Warning Signs around the Turtle Grass in the Somerset Long Bay area
The Issue
- Bermuda's history of environmental protection has been long recognised.
- These ancient creatures are amongst the most important indicators of the health of the world's marine and coastal ecosystems.
- The irresponsible use of jet skiis, boats and anchors by thoughtless individuals is killing turtles and destroying their habitat in this area.
- By instituting a no wake zone we stand to enrich the area for both locals and visitors alike.
- By installing warning signage we hope to make boaters more aware of the risk their craft pose to Turtles in the area.
