This project involves demolishing and replacing a-dock at the agana boat basin with new composite decking

The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded $518,275 to the Guam Department of Agriculture, Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. The primary deliverable is the demolition and replacement of A-Dock at the Agana Boat Basin with new composite decking and aluminum framing. This infrastructure improvement project addresses critical safety hazards on the existing dock structure, including deteriorated decking with holes and slippery algal growth that pose risks to recreational and charter fishermen, vessel operators, and the general boating public.

The replacement dock will provide a safer, more durable facility for continued recreational fishing access and boating activities at this established hub for sport fishermen and anglers. By eliminating structural deficiencies and improving surface conditions, the project supports the Sport Fish Restoration program's core mission to enhance public access to aquatic recreational resources and maintain viable sport fishery infrastructure. The two-year performance period allows for comprehensive project execution, including demolition, design, and construction phases necessary to restore full operational safety and functionality.

As a hub for recreational and charter fishermen, a-dock experiences heavy traffic. The existing deck poses safety hazardsincluding holes and slippery algal growth during heavy rainfallthat may lead to serious injuries. Replacing the structure with aluminum framing and composite decking will eliminate risks of structural failure and vessel damage, ensuring a safer, more durable dock for boaters, anglers, and guests.
