Initial upgrade work has now been completed at the City of Clearwater’s Municipal Marina in Florida. The project is part of a broader plan to update marina facilities along the city’s public waterfront.
The first phase adds approximately 15,000sqft (1,393 sqm) of floating dock infrastructure at the municipal marina. Golden Marine Systems supplied the dock system, with installation completed by Orion Marine Construction.
A Series 950 double-track floating dock system is now in place at the marina. Adjustable cleats, pile guides and finger piers form part of the dock layout to support vessel mooring and routine marina use. Access between the shoreline and dock areas is provided by Series 100 aluminium gangways, each measuring 55ft (17 metres) in length.
The city’s approach to waterfront infrastructure focuses on long-term use and public safety in a coastal area exposed to extreme weather, including hurricanes.
The next phase of the project is scheduled to begin in spring 2026 and is expected to add about 8,800sqft (818 sqm) of additional dock space.

You should check with Fishermen's Village Marina. It was substantially destroyed by Hurricane Milton and I think there are no slips available as of January 2026. Harpoon Harry's, Captain's Table, Village Fish Market are gone. The Brew House restaurant and bar(s) is open. I think fuel is available but not much else. I think the other Punta Gorda marine, Laishley's is also destroyed but you can verify by phone. The Crab House restaurant is open.
It would be a shame if a cruising boater traveled 20 miles from the ICW expecting to find a slip at either marina, based on your report. You do not need to publish my message.

Antarctica is 98% ice covered and contains 90 percent of Earth’s total ice volume. Melting ice is limited mainly to West Antarctica which is offset by ice mass gains over the remainder of Antarctica.
The mass of the Antarctic ice sheet has changed over the last decades. Research based on observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites (2002-2025) and GRACE Follow-On (since 2018) indicates that between 2002 and 2025, Antarctica shed approximately 135 gigatons of ice per year, causing global sea level to rise by 0.4 millimeters per year. Since 2020, however, the Antarctic has seen little or no ice mass loss.
At this rate, an additional 28 mm (1.1 inches) of sea level rise can be anticipated by 2100. If the Antarctic ice melt would triple between now and 2100 we should expect an additional 42 mm (1.7 inches) of sea level rise due to Antarctic melt. Forensic Marine Weather Expert
