ENJOY YOUR WATER VEHICLE
RESPONSIBLY
8 You share the areas you enjoy when
riding your Water Vehicle with others
and with nature. So your enjoyment
includes a responsibility to treat these
other people, and the lands, waters, and
wildlife with respect and courtesy.
8 Whenever and wherever you ride, think
of yourself as the guest of those around
you. Remember, for example, that the
sound of your Water Vehicle may be
music to you, but it could be just noise
to others. And the exciting splash of
your wake can make waves others wont
enjoy. Avoid riding close to shoreline
homes and waterfowl nesting areas or
other wildlife areas, and keep a respect-
ful distance from fishermen, other
boats, swimmers, and populated beach-
es. When travel in areas like these is
unavoidable, ride slowly and obey all
laws.
8 Remember that pollution can be harm-
ful to the environment. Do not refuel or
add oil where a spill could cause dam-
age to nature. Remove your Water
Vehicle from the water and move it
away from the shoreline before refuel-
ing. And keep your surroundings pleas-
ant for the people and wildlife that
share the waterways: do not litter!
8 When you ride responsibly, with
respect and courtesy for others, you
help ensure that our waterways stay
open for the enjoyment of a variety of
recreational opportunities.
