DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. The Daytona Beach Police Department is continuing to oversee the removal of derelict boats in the Halifax River, some of which have been abandoned by their owners. These boats have been an eyesore, an environmental risk and a safety risk, Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri said. The city of Daytona Beach will pay for the initiative, but in a partnership with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the police agency will be reimbursed more than $107,000 through two state grants. Authorities said the police department will search for the owners, who were previously notified, in an effort to pay for their removal and demolition. Police said holds have been placed with the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, so the owners cannot renew any vehicle registration until they pay.
