Wounded Nature-Working Veterans Improve Georgetown Riverwalk by Removing Boats

Two old sunken shrimp boats and three derelict and abandoned sailboats were removed from Georgetown, South Carolina waters on January 25th, 2022. 
 
The one floating sailboat that recently had someone living aboard was not only filled with the debris of a hoarder but also had a family of rats and roaches aboard.
 
Thanks to equipment and expertise provided by Blackwater Dredging and Wounded Nature–Working Veterans, five boats, cleared by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the US Coast Guard were removed and sent to a landfill for disposal. Georgetown County provided land-based debris removal and haul away.
 
This was a great team effort by federal, state, non-profit environmental, and commercial businesses making a real environmental difference on the South Carolina coast!
