Title
NOAA Abandoned Vessel Project
( WEBSITE )
Description
Abandoned vessels pose a significant threat to the NOAA Trust resources through physical destruction of coral habitats and dispersion of toxic chemicals and gear. The Damage Assessment Center (DAC) is addressing this issue by creating a comprehensive database of abandoned vessels that could potentially threaten coral ecosystems in U.S. waters. Current databases are limited in their scope or definition of abandoned vessels.
