The Round Britain Power Boat Race is raising a huge debate within the country. Marine Charity called The Sea does not support this event, because they believe that the fast-moving boat, and the oil from their motors can damage all of the wildlife n the coast- especially dolphins, which are close to becoming endangered species. The areas that the dolphins live in are very sensitive, and any unknown object coould do potential harm. Since this is a large event which uses up to £300m yearly, many tourists are expected to be there, which will surely leave a negative impact on the wildlife of the marine society. There are many porpoises, fish, and other species of marine inhabitants that The Sea is afraid will be in danger because of this race. Even though the organizers of this race say that they have kept ecology in mind, and that the bots will be spread out at least a few meters, and that they will watch where they will go exactly, The Sea is still unsure of the fact that this is a good idea. But, with all of the technology we created, can any animal be completely safe?
