Galveston County partnered with the Texas General Land Office & Texas Parks and Wildlife to host our 2024 Vessel Turn - In event .
   In 2024 , Galveston County collected 52 derelict vessels , adding to the over 300 vessels we have cleared from our waterways through this successful annual event . Since the late 1990 ' s , Galveston County has been working with the Texas General Land Office to dispose of derelict vessels .
   In 2014 , the Vessel - Turn in Program ( VTIP ) was created to address the financial and environmental issues created by neglected vessels . This cost - effective solution has lowered the number of dumped boats from 30 - 50 per year to around 10 .
   Thank you to the Galveston County Nuisance Abatement Department , Texas General Land Office , and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for helping to keep our waterways clear!
