A surge of water safety incidents involving jet skis has led to a joint appeal for responsibility to be issued by multiple water safety agencies. 

The joint appeal states jet ski users should be careful of their own safety as well as "respect the safety and wellbeing of other water users" and avoid "unnecessary encroachment" into swimming areas and other water group activities.
