Door County Knock recently published an article<\/a> on the Donny S., a 143-foot tug boat that is sitting abandoned in northeast Bailey’s Harbor. It’s fate remains unknown. A current inspection and evaluation of the boat\u2019s environmental condition and contents, by an authorized entity, is crucial for any progress toward removing the Donny S., according to Tressie Kamp, assistant director at the Center for Water Policy. The Center’s policy brief<\/a> on abandoned boats was also cited in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGovernment actors need to go on the boat and understand what the conditions are years after the last Coast Guard inspection,\u201d Kamp said. Anyone who wants to do something about the tug, whether government or private actors, cannot know what efforts will consist of, or how much it will cost, until that happens, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
