Dunedin Bans Jet Skis on Causeway | Tampa News

Dunedin, Florida, just made a permanent ban on launching motorized watercraft on the south side of the causeway — a move sparked by safety concerns and environmental wins after hurricanes Helene and Milton. City leaders cite recent jet ski-related deaths and thriving seagrass as key reasons, while critics like jet ski advocates push back, urging people to boycott local businesses. Paddleboarders and eco-groups cheer the change, calling it safer for wildlife and the ecosystem. Enforcement starts with warnings, but repeat offenders face up to $500 fines. The north end of the causeway already had similar restrictions in place. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
