Description
This boat has shown up overnight at the Boat Ramp on Sunlit Cove and Bay Streets. It has water in it, it may be sinking.
Since we are expecting heavy rains today, this can easily become a hazard to the environment and waterway.

Abandoned, At Risk, or Derelict Vessels:
Abandoned, At Risk or Derelict Vessels are a concern for the boating public in the State of Florida. Pinellas County has a program to remove these vessels, but there is a specific process that must be followed prior to removal:
1) Initial complaints are investigated by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (850-488-4676), Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Marine Unit (727-582-6200), or local municipal authorities if the vessel is in their jurisdiction.
2) Notice is provided to the owner (via mail or notice on the vessel) to remove the vessel or request a hearing within 21 days.
3) If the vessel is not removed or a hearing is requested within the 21-day period, Pinellas County's Marine Safety Unit receives a Derelict Vessel Removal Authorization.
4) A contractor will then be dispatched to remove the vessel.
