Marine Debris Removal

It’s summer and no one wants to miss an opportunity to enjoy the water, but how much do you know about the underwater hazards around your dock? The waters around your dock could be shallow or littered with debris.

Whether you are swimming off of your dock or taking your boat out for the day, marine debris around your dock can be a major safety hazard.  Submerged pilings, tree limbs, rip rap and other heavy debris all pose a serious threat. This hidden debris can cause impact injuries from jumping or diving off of docks.  Even small things like fishing tackle, broken glass or rope can ruin a day.  Rope and fishing tackle can cause swimmers to get entangled under the water or foul a propeller. 

Safety on the water should always be a priority.  We can identify the hazards that are under your dock and measure surrounding depths.  Once marine debris is marked, we can remove it, making it safe for swimming and boating.  Let us help you make your dock safer.  Contact us for a quote.
