Senate Committee on Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment to Investigate

The Senate Committee on Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment will conduct a thorough investigation into the lack of regulation, supervision, and public policy regarding reckless and dangerous boat practices in Puerto Rico's coastlines, including the negligent operation of motorized watercraft like jet skis, public waterway congestion, irresponsible interaction with protected marine species, and lack of educational campaigns and regulations to prevent fatal accidents, protect the marine environment, and promote responsible boating culture.

“Para ordenar a la Comisión de Turismo, Recursos Naturales y Ambientales del Senado de Puerto Rico realizar una investigación exhaustiva sobre la ausencia de regulación, supervisión y política pública relacionada con las aceleraciones indebidas y prácticas peligrosas de embarcaciones recreativas en las costas de Puerto Rico, incluyendo la operación negligente de vehículos acuáticos motorizados tipo "jet ski", el regateo en aguas públicas, la interacción irresponsable con especies marinas protegidas, y la falta de campañas educativas y normativas para prevenir accidentes fatales, proteger el ambiente marino y desarrollar una cultura de seguridad náutica responsable; y para otros fines relacionados.
