...A channel 20 to 40 meters wide CAN be opened on Negril Beach if it is NOT in "close proximity" where members of the public customarily swim. But it goes on the state "where PWC operations will be prohibited".

Now, members of the public don't "customarily swim" at the mouth of the Negril River so can it be opened there? Using phrases like "close proximity" and "customarily swim" are only added to confuse the matter.

I think there is a place for the PWC but just not on Negril's Beach.

Just my opinion.

Acc,

The "Devil" in this case may be that the details that the Task Force has defined were not stated in exact distances in the article quoted. The journalist could have gone into the Task Force guidelines and found out how they defined "close proximity" and "customarily swim" but apparently chose not to do so, feeling their comments were adequate for the readers.

However, they seem to agree that the "public bathing beaches including in Negril, Montego Bay and Hellshire Beach, where PWC operations will be prohibited." That is a pretty firm detail they outline in their regulations.

Thanks Rob,

That is why I put it out there. I thought there was a lot "more to the story" and I figured someone (especially YOU ) would set the matter straight.

You know, a lot of people just think of Negril as all there is in Jamaica and don't go past the town limits. I think that Chukka Cove has horseback riding and it is not in Negril. It is not necessary to mix swimmers and sunbathers with horses any more than PWC should be allowed. Jamaica is roughly the area and shape of Connecticut so there is a lot of area where concessions for renting can be established for these purposes and that will give people a good reason to get out and explore a little of the island at the same time.

Thanks again.

Good points, and if this is how it will be handled I think the authorities have made a good compromise. The article linked a day or two ago was not at all clear on these details.
