Commercial jet ski operations around Magnetic Island (Document No. 100468)

Abstract

Our goal is to provide for the protection, wise use, understanding and enjoyment of the Great Barrier Reef in perpetuity through the care and development of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Throughout Australia, the use of jet skis invokes a range of public responses, primarily based on differing perceptions about their environmental and social impacts. The GBRMPA has received a number of public comments and enquiries about jet skis around Magnetic Island. This Information Bulletin outlines the current situation with regard to jet skis around Magnetic Island and our intended response to any future applications to increase commercial jet ski activity.
