Wreck Free Fal and Helford does not have any powers to remove abandoned boats. The information will be shared with the relevant authorities for the area. The Wreck Map is 'crowd sourced' and shows boats which appear to be abandoned. If your boat has been wrongly identified as abandoned please send an email to info@wreckfree.org
