Description:Increased boating activities and new waterfront developments have contributed an estimated 3,000 dismantled, abandoned, junked, wrecked, derelict vessels to Florida coastal waters. This report outlines a method of siting and prioritizing derelict vessel removal using the Florida Keys as a test area. Results indicate 59 top priority cases which should be the focus of immediate clean-up efforts in the Florida Keys. Half of these cases are rated low to moderate in removal difficulty; the remainder are difficult (costly) to remove. The rating scheme offers coastal planners options of focusing removal operations on either (1) specific areas with clusters of high priority derelict vessels or (2) selected targeted derelicts at various, specific locations.
