Nonprofit group working with the county and state to remove abandoned boats from waterway
Georgetown’s waterway looks a lot nicer today thanks to a major cleanup project conducted by The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Wounded Nature – Working Veterans.
They have been working the past couple of weeks removing abandoned and sunken boats.
So far, 11 abandoned boats have been removed from river in the vicinity of the Harborwalk boardwalk and Goat Island.Once out of the water, Georgetown County works crush them and they will be taken to the landfill.The work is not cheap. Rudy Socha – Chief Executive Officer of Wounded Nature – said it costs about $10,000 to get an abandoned sailboat with a mast out of the water and into a landfill and could be upwards of $20,000 if it’s sunken.He said the state provides manpower and equipment but does not provide funds.
He said removing the boats not only beautifies the area, it also makes the water safer because many of the boats contain contaminants that pollute the water and makes it dangerous for fish and wildlife.
Adrian Dolcus, a Wounded Nature volunteer, said the organization has been removing derelict boats from waterways in Charleston County for about seven years. He said they have now expanded to Georgetown and Beaufort.“We really care about coastal waterways and the environment. We also plant oyster beds in the spring,” he said. “The boating thing is kind of an epidemic. We deal a lot with homeless people and elderly people who had a boat. Sometimes people don’t want to pay for a marina so they will drop an anchor behind the steel mill,” he said.Click here to learn more about Wounded Nature.Click Here To View the Cruisers Net South Carolina Marina Directory Listing For Harborwalk Marina

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued an August update to its 2025 hurricane season outlook, slightly lowering its prediction for how many storms to expect.
However, the forecast still calls for this year to have an above-average season, and conditions are aligning for more tropical activity as we enter the peak hurricane period.
On Thursday, NOAA said it adjusted the range of named storms from 13 to 19 down to 13 to 18. There have been four named storms so far this year and no hurricanes.
It similarly adjusted the number of hurricanes down to five to nine overall, and lowered the low end of major hurricane numbers by one, to two to five.
The May forecast predicted there was a 60% chance of an above-normal hurricane season. That probability has been lowered to 50%.
Though numbers have been adjusted down, the season is entering its peak period and ocean and atmospheric conditions still favor an above-normal season, said the report.
The prediction of an above-average remainder of the season is based on a combination of factors, including warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Seas, and an active West African Monsoon.
There is neither an El Niño nor La Niña this summer. El Niños tend to increase wind shear over the Atlantic, which can topple hurricanes. La Niñas tend to reduce wind shear.
“Many of the factors we identified ahead of the season are still at play, and conditions are largely tracking along with our May predictions,” said Matt Rosencrans, lead hurricane season forecaster with NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction, part of the National Weather Service.
Other factors that tend to accelerate hurricane likelihood from August through October include the dissipation of Saharan Dust. Large plumes of dry desert dust travel across the Atlantic in early summer, but tend to fade in August.
West African monsoons, which develop farther south on the continent, also begin traveling into the tropical Atlantic more frequently at this time of year. Those systems can develop into tropical cyclones.
NOAA emphasized that the outlook is not a landfall forecast since short-term weather patterns influence landfall quickly.
The hurricane season runs through November.
