South Jersey PWC Club
Code of Ethics
I will work through my IJSBA Charter Club to promote good public relations through club activities, community affairs and the media
I will respect the rights of all users of the recreational waterways, both on public waters and on adjacent private property
I will be considerate at the launch ramps and docks. I will get on and off the ramps briskly and not delay others
I will follow the navigation rules of the road around all other vessels. I will learn and observe my state's rules on wake jumping
I will give all anchored vessels or drifting vessels plenty of room
I will always operate at headway speed in "no wake" zones
When approaching the shore, I will be especially aware of swimmers and other craft near the shore
I will not disturb wildlife. I will avoid areas posted for the protection of wildlife
I will not litter the shore side and I will be careful with my fuel
I realize that my equipment, ability, weather and wave conditions, and especially other vessel traffic should determine my travel speed
I will not interfere with or harass others. I realize that people judge all personal watercraft owners by my actions
I will pay close attention to the noise my vessel may make and be aware of how others on boats and on shore react to that noise
Through my IJSBA Charter Club, I will strive for cooperation with other personal watercraft clubs and organizations
Club Activities should be conducted according to the spirit of this Code of Ethics both within the personal watercraft community and the community at large
