Homer Council on the Arts recently presented their 2026 community art awards to local individuals in several categories. Artist of the Year was awarded to Carla Klinker; and crab populations in the Bering Sea are struggling, researchers say climate change is a big cause. A new tool described in a study published this month will help researchers predict one of climate change’s biggest threats to crabs: ocean acidity.
Support for KBBI's Morning News comes from the Homer Foundation. Through the Homer Foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee, local students participate in the grantmaking process by reviewing proposals and recommending funding for projects that benefit young people on the southern Kenai Peninsula.
