The Maritime Services Association of Trinidad and Tobago yesterday called for the introduction of stricter legislation and tougher penalties for breaches of jet ski operation protocols, saying decisive action is needed to deter reckless behaviour and prevent further loss of life.
The association expressed deep sadness over a tragic jet ski incident on Wednesday that claimed the life of seven-year-old Angelica Jogie. It extended condolences to the family and loved ones affected, saying the loss has caused profound grief within the maritime community.
The association said the incident highlights the urgent need for stronger enforcement and regulation of jet ski and other recreational watercraft operations in Trinidad and Tobago’s waters. It warned that unregulated activity continues to pose serious risks to public safety.
