SAVE THE WISONSIN RIVER
Published by robert burns on Oct 06, 2006
Target: WILDTHING JET BOAT TOURS
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
THE WISCONSIN RIVER IS A NARROW, AND IN MOST PLACES SHALLOW. IT USED TO BE A QUIET, PLEASANT RIVER TO TRAVEL ON AND LIVE NEAR.
NOW THE JET BOATS RACE UP AND DOWN THE RIVER TURNING 360 DEGREE CIRCLES AT FAST SPEEDS AND POWER STOPS LEAVING HUGE WAKES AND NOISE BEHIND THEM RESULTING IN SHORE EROSION FROM WAVES, WILDLIFE ABOVE AND BELOW THE WATERS SURFACE DISTURBED.
THE WISCONSIN RIVER IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR A BOAT OF THIS SIZE. THE WAVES ARE HUGE FROM THESE BOATS CAUSING OTHER BOATS IN SOME CASES WATER COMES OVER THE EDGES OF OTHER FISHING BOATS, KAYAKS, AND CANOES. THE JET BOATS ARE NOT SAFE OR ENVIROMENTLY FRIENDLY TO THIS RIVER.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE ANY MORE DAMAGE CAN BE DONE.

Petition:
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, PROPOSE A NO WAKE ZONE FROM THE RAPIDS DOWN TO THE CURVE WHERE THE WISCONSIN RIVER TURNS SOUTH ALONG COUNTY HWY O. THIS WILL HOPEFULLY STOP THE JET BOATS FROM RUNNING THIS FAR DOWN RIVER.
