Cleaning Up Abandoned Boats

Abandoned boats are turning into environmental time bombs in Harris County’s waterways, leaking fuel and endangering wildlife — but a powerful local movement is sparking real change. After a grassroots campaign by the Dead Boats Society turned a social media post into a community effort, state and local authorities have stepped in. With legal backing from the Texas General Land Office and support from the Sheriff’s Office, divers and heavy equipment are now removing over a thousand derelict vessels across the state — one boat at a time, cleaning up our waters and proving that citizen action can drive meaningful environmental progress.
