Residents concerned about the impact of jetskis in the local marine park alerted Shoalhaven Councillor Bob Proudfoot to the issue.

Cr Proudfoot will bring the matter to the floor of council at the April meeting on Tuesday.

The Australian National Guidelines for Whale and Dolphin Watching 2017 stipulate jetski drivers must stay at least 300m from dolphins, 500m from white whales and 300m from other whale species.

These rules are not being adhered to in Jervis Bay according to Cr Proudfoot.

"I'm going on what people have told me, jetski drivers are getting very close to dolphins," he said.

"There have been complaints from passengers on dolphin watch cruises that these jetski drivers are driving the dolphins away. They believe they get too close, and they make a hell of a lot of noise.

"Sometimes it becomes a traffic jam, when you get 16 or 17 of them out there at one time."

He would like council to open a dialogue with the relevant state government agencies, and perhaps see local waterways policed more heavily over peak holiday seasons.

Some community groups have zero tolerance for jetski users in the Bay.

An online petition launched by Mal Hunter in 2018 lobbied governing bodies to ban jetskis altogether in Jervis Bay.

"In 2001 jet skis were banned from Sydney Harbour and at that point in time there was little or no concern over how this would impact Jervis Bay," the petition said.

"Seventeen years later it is now time to be concerned as hundreds of jetskis (jerk skis) have arrived and are destroying our beautiful waters and beaches of Jervis Bay. Erratic riding, excessive speed and constant noise pollution go hand in hand with jetskis. Not all jetski riders drive erratically, however it appears the majority do."

Councillor Proudfoot is not suggesting an outright ban at this stage - he would like a better understanding of the situation at hand before any drastic measures are implemented.

"It may well be that people are over-anxious about their impact," Cr Proudfoot said.

"It's not that much of a radical motion, it's a matter looking back at the peak holiday season now Easter has finished and seeing how it all went. Is it a few one-offs?

"Used responsibly they can be a good recreational activity, but often it's the testosterone-driven male that likes to use them.

"I'd like a report from Fisheries or the correct agency to see what they consider to be the situation, what enforcement officers have reported back to them."
