Dear ~o:
As of December 30, 1993, a 52' Chris Craft has been aground on
the gulfside of Ohio (Sunshine) Key. The owner, a Mr. Bob Boling
of Fort Walton Beach, has attempted to refloat the vessel on
several occasions with no success. It is ny understanding that
at this time he has exhausted his funds and has effectively
abandoned the vessel. I also have been notified that the Florida
Marine Patrol has completed a derelict vessel report for this
incident. The vessel is presently damaging sea grass and a
finger coral community in the location where it is resting on the
bottom. In addition, there is reportedly up to several hundred
gallons of diesel fuel still on board, so there is a clear
potential for a pollutant spill. There is also the possibility
that the vessel will move due to weather and block the Sunshine
Key channel.
Is there a possibility that vessel removal funds can be used to
remove this abandoned vessel before it causes further injury to
resources of the Florida Keys National Karine Sanctuary? We
would appreciate any assistance that your program could provide
to remove this potential threat to our Darine resources. If you
have any questions or wish to discuss this further, contact me at
872-4039. Thank you for your help.
