THE MURRAY RIVER ENVIRONMENT
THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING BOATING REGULATIONS IS CONCERNING.
DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT MAY BE IRREPAIRABLE, AND DAMAGE TO MOORED CRAFT CAN IS EXPENSIVE.
BOATIES SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT MANY BOATS ARE NOW SITTING ON ROCKS.
IT IS COMMONLY CONSIDERED THAT A BOAT TRAVELLING AT 4kN WILL NOT CREATE A SIZEABLE STERN WAVE.
QUOTING THE DEPT FOR TRANSPORT ENERGY & INFRASTRUCTURE " 4kN IS ABOUT A BRISK WALKING PACE.
IT IS IN FACT WALKING AT 7.4 Ks PER HOUR.
THIS CRAFT CLOCKED AT 4.3 Kn IS DAMAGING THE RIVERBANK.
