Have you found a derelict or abandoned vessel? Or is the vessel drifting or otherwise unmoored? If so, please use this form to give us some information. Answer as many of the questions as you can.
Clean Virginia Waterways & the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program are partnering to co-facilitate a Work Group to address the issues associated with abandoned and derelict vessels (ADVs) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. An important first step is creating a state-wide inventory of such vessels, then prioritizing removal based on the information you provide below (hazards to navigation, risk to the environment, size/location of vessel, etc.). We appreciate any & all information you can provide in the form below.
Thanks for doing your part to improve the health & safety of our waterways & helping those who enjoy those resources!
Sincerely,
Katie Register - Executive Director, Clean Virginia Waterways, Longwood University (

P.S. Are you an owner/manager of a marina or other boat-related businesses? If so, please put up our flyer to let boaters know about this inventory! You can request a flyer by using this link:
