Today, as a proud Coast Guard City, we join communities across the nation in celebrating the 236th Birthday of the United States Coast Guard.

From search and rescue missions to maritime safety and environmental protection, Coast Guard personnel are an essential part of life along our coast. We are grateful for their dedication and proud to support those who serve.

Happy Birthday, USCG!

We were honored to host representatives from the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) yesterday for a site visit at the harbor, where they toured the floats slated for replacement. MARAD is administering a grant through the federal Port Infrastructure Development Program which will help fund the replacement of Float System 4— a critical upgrade for the safety and longevity of our harbor infrastructure.

Homer was just one stop of many on their itinerary, as several Alaska harbor projects are receiving federal support. Thank you to the MARAD team for making the trip from Washington, DC. We are grateful for the partnership, and we are looking forward to doing this project together.

Independence Day in Homer is chock-full of fun events for all ages!

A few 4th of July highlights:
First, head to the Homer Fire Hall from 1-3 pm for ice cream & popsicles. Then tour the trucks, meet your first responders and enjoy family-friendly activities.
Next, the Homer Chamber of Commerce 4th of July Parade starts at 3 pm and runs along Pioneer Ave. This year’s parade theme is America the Beautiful. Homer always shows its creative parade spirit, don’t miss it!
After the parade, head to the HERC property for a community celebration featuring food, music and games. Parking will be very limited, so consider walking over after watching the parade. This Homer Chamber of Commerce celebration runs from 4 to 8 pm.

We appreciate the Homer Public Works, Police and Fire Departments supporting these July 4th events! We'll see you out there!

Beware the China P**t Tide Rip!

Summer has arrived and the China P**t personal use salmon fishery is open. Dipnetters heading to the creek and sport fisherman hoping to snag a sockeye in the China P**t Bay saltwater often travel by small boat from the Homer Spit to the fishing grounds.

If you are heading over, be aware that the entrance to China P**t Bay can be extremely dangerous in high winds. The combination of strong outgoing tide currents and southwest winds creates standing waves. This tide rip has capsized boats causing injury and fatalities.

BE PREPARED - Familiarize yourself with nautical charts for the area.
BE AWARE - Check the current tide and wind conditions. Any time the wind is blowing southwest, approach with care.
BE SAFE - Make sure ALL boaters have life jackets and safety equipment.
