Dock Assessment Information

WHAT:

Our Field Operations team now begins with a FREE virtual Dock Assessment to evaluate your dock for potential Vertical Oyster Garden (VOG) placement. Using photos and satellite imagery, we estimate how many VOGs your dock can reasonably support and identify the best placement. If you decide to move forward, we’ll then schedule a brief in-person visit to take final measurements before installation.

WHERE:

To get started, please provide the address of the dock you'd like us to assess. We'll begin with a virtual review using satellite imagery and any photos you can share. If you decide to move forward with installation, a member of our Field Operations team will schedule a brief site visit to take final measurements. If the dock is privately owned, please ensure it will be accessible at the time of the visit.

COST:

We work on a variable pricing model based on the size and scope of each project. For individual installations, we suggest a donation of $10 per Vertical Oyster Garden (VOG). This amount reflects the value of each VOG, which includes support for our shell recycling program, installation labor, travel expenses, materials, and the long-term environmental impact. These components are essential to the sustainable, community-driven mission of our work in Sarasota Bay.
