Boat Abandonment on the Uptick

Its to be expected, but is no less appalling to hear that boat abandonment is on the rise. The garden variety stop paying your moorage fees is one thing, but in CA and FL apparently there are lot of boats illegally scuttled leaking oil, fuel, and holding tanks into the waterways.

It's really sad to hear stories like these.  Not only is it a sign of how hard the times are getting for some people, but we all have to live with the environmental consequences.  We can only hope that the damage doesn't become too severe.
