• 'No tax money, no money to the slip and it's just an eyesore': Abandoned boats in LA are wreaking havoc on Marina del Rey (moneywise.com) — Abandoned and derelict boats are piling up in Marina del Rey, clogging slips, creating safety and pollution risks, and leaving local agencies with hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential cleanup costs. With state grant funding shrinking and only one authorized removal vendor, dozens of new abandoned vessels each year are straining the harbor while nonprofits scramble to raise private money for disposals.
