Agree totally, my thoughts would be to restrict Jet Skis from using Holden St boat ramp as the area between Gollingwood Cove and Orions Beaches is used by hundreds of snorkelers/kayakers/paddle boarders alike.
I firmly believe that Jervis Bay being a marine park that all Jet Skis (except those specifically set up for fishing) should be banned from the bay. Dolphins do not have a chance from a 60 kmph Jey Ski circling them.
I am available to assist in any way possible to achieve the above.

Thanks Mal, you are not alone with that opinion. It is important to complain when JetSki riders behave badly and disregard our safety, otherwise the Government authorities won’t realise how serious the matter is. Phone Dob in a JetSki number 131236 to report the behaviour, time, & location.
Or report the details of the matter on line: https://www.nsw.gov.au/departments-and-agencies/transport-for-nsw/contact-roads-and-waterways/online.
Extract from NSW Gov Media release: Jetskiers ride safe in 2024:
“The popularity of jetskis and personal watercraft has soared over the last 4 years,
with over 90,000 licenced riders in NSW, an increase of over 35% since 2020.
The largest jump in jetski licences has been among Generation Z, those born between
1995 and 2010. There are more than 23,000 licenced riders aged between 13 and 28 in
NSW, an increase of 22% on this time last”.
