⚓ Adopt-A-Dock™ Program
Building Gratitude, One Dock at a Time
A nonprofit, community-led initiative, Adopt-A-Dock™ partners with local governments and park systems to build safe, eco-friendly, and accessible docks along Florida’s Treasure Coast. More than launch platforms, these docks are gateways to connection, recreation, and gratitude—places where community, environment, and generosity meet.
🌍 Why Adopt-A-Dock™?
- Support eco-friendly waterfront infrastructure and universal access.
- Champion environmental stewardship through sustainable dock design.
- Enhance local tourism and quality of life with accessible recreation.
- Strengthen community ties via a nonprofit initiative working closely with governments and parks.
- Leave a legacy of gratitude and shared pride across generations.
🛶 Dock Cost Overview
Dock Type Typical Cost
Floating Dock $15–$35/sq ft — ~120 sq ft = $2k–$4k
Piling Dock $30–$60/sq ft — ~200 sq ft = $6k–$12k
Standard Public Dock $15,000–$30,000+ total
* Note: Final costs depend on permitting, shoreline conditions, and environmental factors.
⛵ Why the Treasure Coast Needs More Docks
Florida’s Treasure Coast—Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Vero Beach—is facing growing demand for shoreline access, yet public docks remain scarce. Historic events, like the loss of Fort Pierce City Marina in 2004, highlight the cost and impact of underinvestment in accessible, resilient dock infrastructure.
🎁 Impact of Your Giving
- A $20,000 donation builds a mid-size floating dock—lasting value to public recreation.
- A $30,000–$50,000 contribution enables robust piling docks with ADA features—a gift to the entire community.
Every dollar creates meaningful access, strengthens resilience, and roots gratitude deep within our region.
