"Any vessel that causes damage to local reefs can be fined. However, despite a number of incidents of reef damage over the last few years by both cruise ships and luxury yachts, the government has failed to collect on sanctions."
What the fuck?
- cjhveal 11y agoI'd guess that they're balancing levying fines against these entities and the tourism/money that they're bringing to the islands.
- acqq 11y agoCan anybody demonstrate the "balance"? I always had an impression that yachts don't pay much to the average place where they anchor but only to the marinas?
- kika 11y agoIf this had happened in the so called "marine park" then it usually means that the yacht paid the "mooring fee" for just the right to drop an anchor in the designated space. Designated by the "local authority", btw. And for megayachts these fees are quite high (hundreds or thousands of dollars).
