SUMMARY:Isle of Catalina Boat Ramp Repair Project
DESCRIPTION:The Isle of Catalina boat ramp has provided our community with access to Clear Lake for many years. Unfortunately\, its condition has continued to deteriorate and the need for repair has become increasingly urgent. \nThe concern is not simply cosmetic. A significant cavity has developed beneath the ramp\, contributing to settlement and making the ramp increasingly steep. If deterioration continues\, the affected areas may become unstable and continued vehicle and trailer use could eventually become unsafe or require restrictions. \nRepairing the Ramp Before the Cost Grows \nA marine contractor has estimated that repairing and stabilizing the existing ramp will cost approximately $32\,000. \nThis is our immediate fundraising goal with a deadline of November 30\, 2026 to act! \nWe were also advised verbally that if deterioration continues and the ramp eventually requires complete replacement\, the cost could exceed $150\,000. \nRepairing the ramp now may preserve an important community asset while avoiding a substantially more expensive replacement project—or the potential loss of ramp access altogether. \nOur Community Is Responding \nWe are encouraged that 7 neighbors have already pledged a total of $6\,500! So we are off to a great start! \nIf you are able to pledge or donate $1\,000\, we sincerely appreciate your generosity. If that amount is not practical\, please consider giving from the heart in whatever amount is comfortable for your household. \nEvery pledge and donation—large or small—moves us closer to preserving safe and reliable access to Clear Lake. \nClear Lakes Foundation and AquaTerra Foundation \nDonations for this project will be administered through Clear Lakes Foundation\, now operating as a local program of AquaTerra Foundation\, Inc.\, in support of the Isle of Catalina Waterways Committee and the Boat Ramp Repair Project. \nAquaTerra Foundation\, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on environmental stewardship\, conservation\, education\, waterway protection\, and community restoration. Clear Lakes Foundation will continue serving as the familiar local program supporting Clear Lake and the Isle of Catalina waterways. \nContributors will receive a written acknowledgment after a completed donation is received\, as appropriate\, for their tax records. A pledge documents an intention to contribute and is not itself a receipt for a completed charitable gift. \nPLEDGE CAMPAIGN DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 30\, 2026 \nOnce the pledge period closes\, the results will help guide the next steps for the repair project. \nHelp Us Improve Community Communications \nSeveral residents have asked for additional ways to receive updates beyond email and Nextdoor. AquaTerra Foundation uses the Givebutter platform for campaign communications\, pledge management\, and future online giving\, so you may soon receive emails co-branded with AquaTerra Foundation and Givebutter. If you have not received any email communication and would like to start receiving Waterways Committee communication\, please email canalcommittee@gmail.com with your contact information. \nTo opt in to text-message updates\, text Daniel Gracia at 407-489-6966 with your name\, Isle of Catalina address\, email address\, and a note requesting Foundation text updates. \nYou may also update your communication preferences at: \ninfo@aquaterrafoundation.org \nOur next project update will be via email through the Givebutter platform and will include additional information and supporting documents\, including the current boat-ramp repair quote as it is updated. Please make sure to be added to the email communication and/or text communication for immediate updates. \nThank you for supporting the preservation of safe and reliable access to Clear Lake for our community. \nAquaTerra Foundation\, Inc.\nd/b/a Clear Lakes Foundation \n
