Nanticoke River

WICOMICO COUNTY - Wicomico County Executive Julie Giordano announced this morning that the Nanticoke Harbor is temporarily closed and will remain closed for several hours. She says a sunken boat and small fuel spill were discovered overnight, prompting the closure.

Emergency services, parks staff, local fire departments, and other responding agencies worked through the night to remove the sunken boat from the harbor. Cleanup will continue this morning in daylight to ensure the harbor is once again safe, Giordano says.

County officials say an update will be provided once the harbor reopens.
