Abandoned Vessel Information
The last thing anyone wants to see on an afternoon Delta boat ride is a half-sunken boat someone tried to scuttle. Rather than pay for disposal, some boat owners opt for the easy - and illegal - way out when the vessel has outlived its usefulness and value. Boats that are abandoned in the Delta pose serious hazards to navigation and to the environment.
For more information about abandoned vessels, visit the Department of Boating and Waterways' Abandoned Vessels Program.
