Matthew Morris, rural director of the Duchy of Cornwall, said: “We are pleased to be able to remove the abandoned vessels from the River Avon.
“Our marine estuary environments provide important habitats for a range of species and are enjoyed as a place of recreation by both locals and visitors alike.”
He said the issue of abandoned vessels was “one that the Duchy of Cornwall is working to address across its marine portfolio alongside its partners”.
“We are committed to creating a positive impact for people, places, and planet, and protecting our marine environment is key to this,” he said.
