    Fred,

    The Jamaica Maritime Authority are finalizing the rules for the jet skis as this thread is happening. This will include additional jurisdiction for the Marine Police to enforce the new regulations, as well as additional funding for the Maritime Police.

    I spoke at length with the spokesperson from the Maritime Authority after the town meeting on Friday. They are moving forward cautiously but want to have easy to regulate requirements for all the personal water craft and their operators, both commercial and private.

    If for some strange reason you are referring to the cigarettes, the police have been enforcing the laws. So much so that there was a huge story about at Sumfest last year which resulted in a change to many of the non-smoking regulations making them more of a common sense issue.

    It is essential common sense - no smoking in commercial enclosed areas because the employees shouldnt be forced to inhale second hand smoke. No smoking around children, which is a no brainer. And yes, it can, has and will be enforced by the police.

    Rob,

    Could you elaborate a likkle on what measures will likely be implemented?

    I was wondering if there would be a complete ban still on watercraft on the 7-mile beach and, if so, what areas are they talking about using?

    Perhaps you can't give "facts" and I don't want "speculation"!
