Agency offers to buy boats anchored in Richardson Bay

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:49:00 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.
