Why It MattersFloating debris isn’t just an eyesore — it can foul propellers, clog jet intakes and strainers, and impact marine ecosystems. Every item DockMaid intercepts is one less hazard to boats, wildlife, and the waterways we share.South Florida canals are seeing increasing amounts of floating marine debris — bottles, foam, plastic fragments, and construction waste drifting through our waterways.DockMaid passively intercepts drifting debris at dock level — before it spreads downstream

How It Works• Passively intercepts debris drifting through waterways along docks, seawalls, and canal edges.
• Self-adjusts with tide, current, and wind.
• Easy to empty — unclip, lift the net, and dump.
• Lightweight, simple, and tethered — no complex installation.

*Manual collection includes plastics/foam plus heavier items like lumber.

Over 354 lbs of non-organic debris removed from a single dock — documented field results from ongoing deployment.

What is DockMaid?
A compact, tethered dockside Interceptor that collects floating debris such as plastics and foam before it drifts out to the coastline.Is DockMaid available yet?
A working prototype is currently being tested. The first MVP units will be piloted in 2026.Does it need power?
No — DockMaid works passively. It uses the natural movement of wind, tide, and current to guide floating debris into the collection net.Is DockMaid patented?
DockMaid is patent pending. A U.S. provisional patent application has been filed to protect its design and functionality.
