Abstract
ADVs pose a chronic problem in our coastal environment. They harm coastal waters and marsh habitat, detract from the safe recreational use of waterways, and create an eyesore on the landscape. Since 2003, SCDES’s Bureau of Coastal Management (BCM) has worked with partners on abandoned vessel removal projects across the coast. Vessel removals are often costly, and despite such efforts, ADVs continue to be a problem in coastal SC.
