Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Escambia County is considering an agreement for the removal of a derelict vessel named "Home Free" from Bayou Chico. This sailboat is a 31-foot C.E. Ryder Corp vessel. The proposed action is a recommendation concerning a recipient/subrecipient agreement between the State of Florida, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Escambia County. This project is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The work will involve the physical removal and disposal of the sunken vessel. This could create opportunities for marine salvage contractors, waste disposal services, and potentially environmental cleanup specialists. Early engagement with county officials may provide insight into the specific requirements and timeline for this removal project.
