Me too, Carol, I will never take a helicopter tour here because I know what it does. I think it's worth a shot to try to raise visitor awareness. If visitors started requesting that the flights stay up and not go lower over houses, you know, like shopped for a conscientious company.
Visitors will go to great lengths to choose a boat company that doesn't impact the reef, because its conscious tourism, but they don't think about noise impact on homes. Possibly they would if awareness were raised. You have to put a face and a voice to the victims; it can't be abstract.
