The Law Explained

The state's Department of Natural Resources strictly regulates 'live-aboards' to protect coastal marshlands and public waterways. You cannot use a vessel as a primary residence for more than 30 consecutive days. This law prevents the establishment of floating shantytowns and keeps raw sewage out of pristine Georgia lakes and coastal areas.
