Locations of derelict abandoned boats in Wales

Closes 31 Dec 2025

Opened 23 Sep 2022

Overview

We are gathering information on the locations of derelict abandoned boats in Wales to help us focus efforts to manage them. This is part of a project funded by the Welsh Government Nature Network Programme.

Whether they are confirmed or suspected derelict boats, please provide the details by following the link below and completing the survey, which can be for individual boats or groups of boats in the same area.

A derelict boat is defined as ‘any boat, ship or craft capable of navigation that has been abandoned and become a nuisance, specifically those that do not fall into the lifecycle management regime of larger vessels’.

If you would like to provide any photos, please email them to mldvp@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk and include the location and the Response ID that will be provided after completing the survey.
