Derelict Vessel Removal Program January 2014 update

The Derelict Vessel Removal Program has successfully removed 516 vessels with 18 still in progress as of January 2014. Funding for recreational vessel removals is set at $800,000 per year, while the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) provides an additional $300,000. Recent legislation has made the $1 vessel registration fee permanent and has addressed issues related to selling agency-owned vessels in poor condition. The program aims to increase vessel owner responsibilities and enhance efforts toward vessel removal and deconstruction through ongoing rule-making and proposed permits.
