Agency offers to buy boats anchored in Richardson Bay

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:46:16 GMT

(KRON) -- The Richardson Bay Regional Agency’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to reinstate the vessel buyback program to help incentivize boaters to move off environmentally sensitive waters.Originally adopted in June 2022, the Vessel Buyback Program offers money based on the length of their boat ($150 per foot) to move vessels off an established Eelgrass Protection Zone and other parts of Richardson Bay. An agreement reached between the RBRA and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission calls for removal of all illegally anchored vessels from Richardson Bay by 2026.Rather than relying on enforcement to remove vessels, the Vessel Buyback Program incentivizes vessel or floating homeowners to transfer their property to the RBRA. As the RBRA moves forward with a new Temporary Housing Support Program, it is also restarting the Vessel Buyback Program to assist boat dwellers with moving off the water."The original vessel buyback program demonstrated that the RBRA and boat owne...
