I think you can all see the team had a busy day yesterday but if you look at 5 of the incidents they were down to respect to people's property, respect to other maritime users and a little common sense.
1) The 3 sailing boats boats pushed off the beach. Someone owns them, someone uses them and when they went down to use and found them missing it ruins their day. From a Coastguard point of view, it wastes time - could spark a major search and cost thousands.
2) Water skiers in among the other boat. The bay is quite large and should accommodate most maritime users ( there has been discussions about zoning the bay for different users but would that spoil the natural look?) - Enjoy your sport we say but consider other users.
3) Jet skis at Studland - same as number 2 really - enjoy yourself but ensure you give yourself space.
4) Dolphin harassment - Deputy blog has pointed out the law, watch from a distance, remember the noise from engines etc can also distress the animals - let everyone enjoy them.
5) Finally - Jet ski again, - kill cords on any boats are important, make sure you wear one.
