Environmentally Friendly Docks and Boat
Lifts
Back to Knowledge Center
The
marine environment is a very delicate and important
resource and deserves our greatest protection. As we
balance the interests of mankind to enjoy the water,
we must consider environmentally safe boat lifts and
environmentally safe boat docks.
We believe the Jet Dock system to
be the most environmentally friendly
boat lift and boat
dock available. First, the Jet Dock system
is made of an advanced
polymer (PDF) that is completely non-hydroscopic,
non-corrosive and non-polluting. Your Jet Dock floating
building block will not rust, rot, corrode or leach
chemicals into the water. Second, our environmentally
safe boat docks float near the water's surface, providing
an ideal habitat -- with plenty of water flow and ultraviolet
rays -- for crustaceans, mussels and other sea life.
The structure also provides a habitat for fish.
Since the Jet Dock environmentally
safe boat lifts are normally for placement in existing
boat slips or mooring areas, the use of a Jet Dock drive-on
docking system is simply replacing the boat that would
otherwise be there. The watercraft is moved, the Jet
Dock is positioned, and the boat is returned -- now
on top of the Dock. This provides an environmental benefit
to that water location. The Jet Dock environmentally
safe boat lifts allow for the storage of boats with
poisonous bottom paints out of the water where they
can do no harm. In most cases, choosing the environmentally
safe boat lifts by Jet Dock will obviate the need to
ever bottom paint your boat altogether.
Your Jet Dock is designed for installation without the need for chemical-soaked pilings or corroding materials. And due to their shallow-water operation, the environmentally safe boat lifts and docks from Jet Dock also elliminate the need for dredging your sea floor the way constructed boat lifts and deep-drafting boat lifts can.
Ultimately, your interaction with the water through boating has an environmental impact -- virtually all of mankind's activity does. With Jet Dock environmentally safe boat docks and boat lifts, your impact is minimized and the environmental benefits are many.
