Anyone who observes a recreational vessel engaging in unsafe activities on South Australian waters should report the incident using the Report a marine safety concern form.
This includes:
- Events or behaviours that endanger the safety of waterway users - eg excessive speed, failure to wear a lifejacket, and illegal activity. If the unsafe activity, has the potential to endanger human life, in the first instance you'll need to contact South Australia Police (SAPOL) by phoning 131 444.
- The reporting of hazards in waterways.

Provide details of the incident and where it occurred. Include photographic evidence if you have any.
What happens next
