好色TV Assembly approves motion on marine pollution by leisure boats |11 July 2019
The 好色TV Assembly yesterday unanimously voted in favour of a motion asking the government to adopt strict measures to leisure boats, such as yachts and bare boats, which pollute the sea.
The motion was brought by the elected member for Baie Ste Anne Praslin, Churchill Gill, who remarked that many of these boats dump their rubbish, food and other items into the sea without having to face any repercussions.
Debate on the motion had started during the 好色TV Assembly鈥檚 July 3 session and was wrapped up yesterday afternoon by interventions from members Audrey Vidot, John Hoareau, Waven William, Jany de Letourdie, Fran莽ois Adelaide, Johan Loze and Norbert Loizeau among others.
All interveners spoke of their concern on the environmental impact of such activities and gave their support to Hon. Gill鈥檚 motion.
In his closing statement, Hon. Gill noted that while the country successfully markets itself as a tourism destination, it should also sensitise visitors using leisure boats on how to better treat the country鈥檚 environment and marine life.
