Alabama Coast Clears 42 Abandoned Boats | Huntsville News

A massive cleanup operation removed 42 abandoned boats totaling nearly 175 tons from Alabama’s coast, turning hazardous eyesores into safer waterways. Over winter, crews pulled 32 vessels from Bon Secour Bay and the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, hauling out nearly 200,000 pounds of debris — including sailboats and barges. In spring, another 10 boats were cleared from the Perdido River and Bay. Led by the Gulf of America Alliance and backed by state agencies, NOAA funding, and contractor teams, this collaborative effort prioritized boater safety and marine protection — a major win for Alabama’s coastal communities.
