Here is a guideline letter to use if anyone is interested.






Wouter Ketel, Superintendent
Cape Lookout National Seashore
131 Charles Street
Harkers Island, NC 28531

Dear Superintendent,
I am writing to voice my opinion on the proposed rule to allow the use of personal watercraft (PWC), also known by the trade name “jetski” at Cape Lookout National Seashore. Having read the park service's own environmental and economic impact studies the conclusions clearly indicate no difference between reinstating PWC use under pre-ban conditions and reinstating PWC use with additional management prescriptions. The only reasonable and logical course of action for the park to take is to restore complete PWC access to the Cape Lookout National Seashore.


Yours Truly,
